Mason-Hubers was named winner of the Nikon-Walkley Community/Regional Prize on Thursday night in a ceremony held simultaneously in both Melbourne and Sydney.
Photographers can enter up to five images in the category to represent work done outside Australia's capital cities.
The judges praised Mason-Hubers' skill, storytelling and consistency of editing.
"Demonstrating the intimacy and trust a regional photographer can build with his community, Max Mason-Hubers' body of work shows a range of subjects portrayed in different ways," they said.
"From a news action shot to a stunning portrait, these five images represent highlights from Mason-Hubers' past twelve months in Newcastle."
