Calling all photographers – we want to see your light-up photos!
During DonateLife Week (28 July to 4 August), important places all around Australia light up magenta at night. This helps us spread the word about organ and tissue donation and encourage Australians to register as organ donors.
Whether you’re an amateur snapper, an iPhone camera whiz, or a bona-fide professional photographer, we’d love to see and share your photos. So, simply head on out to one of the light-up locations in your state or territory listed below, take some snaps, and share them on social media. Remember to use the hashtag #DonateLifeWeek2024 and tag us – we’re on Facebook DonateLife, and Instagram @DonateLifeToday.
We’ll reshare our favourite snaps from around the country during and after DonateLife Week, so keep an eye out!
Please note that scheduled light-ups can be subject to last-minute changes. Please contact your local DonateLife Agency if you would like to confirm a light-up on a particular date.
Please note that all monument light-ups are active from dusk on the date indicated, to dawn the following day.
