Win a Canon camera with your view of Australia
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

The winner will receive a Canon digital camera and will get the opportunity to have their image displayed as part of an exclusive exhibition of behind-the-scenes images from the film selected by director Baz Luhrmann, being held at The Barbican from 6-31 March ( Australia is being screened on 22 March at 2pm as part of the 15th London Australian Film Festival held at The Barbican, with a drinks reception courtesy of Jacob’s Creek, the UK’s favourite Australian wine, proud to be the exclusive wine partner of Australia). Not only that, but to mark the DVD/Blu-ray release of Australia, the winner will also recieve a copy of Baz Luhrmann's epic romantic western, set in Northern Australia during World War II, starring Nicole Kidman and Hugh Jackman.
Five runners up will receive a copy of Australia on DVD or Blu-ray, and their images will be displayed on The Barbican LAFF microsite.
