THE CHANNEL COUNTRY PHOTOGRAPHY COMPETITION
CLOSES 31 AUGUST 2011
The Channel Country Photography Competition closing date is fast approaching, and Vast Arts Inc, in collaboration with Desert Channels Group takes this opportunity to remind you to have your entries posted by the 31st of August, 2011!
With over $8000 worth of prizes, and sections for varying skill levels, the Channel Country Photography Competition has already attracted a strong field of entries, but there is still a week to go and plenty of time to still submit your photograph.
The competition seeks to have photographers capture the essence of the unique and wonderful scenery in the region interpreted through the lens of a camera!
“The only stipulation is that entries should have been taken in the designated area, within the last twelve months and not be of babies, children or pets,” said Miss Shelley Colvin, Project Officer for Vast Arts Inc.
“The aim of the competition is to encourage tourists, visitors and photographers from all around Australia to visit, and while they are here, to also try their hand at taking a photo that encapsulates the region.”
“It is an exciting project, with some really significant cash prizes, kindly donated by a variety of strongly supportive businesses and not-for-profit organisations. Their support is invaluable.”
“I also acknowledge Desert Channels Group who are collaborating with us and helping to bring this wonderful project to fruition,” Miss Colvin said.
Photographers are asked to submit photos that were taken within the Queensland catchment areas of the Diamantina, Georgina, Barcoo and Thomson Rivers and the Cooper Creek within the last twelve (12) months (map available).
For the twelve Finalists of the competition, their photographs will be shown as a multi-media slide show projection on the Channel Country Photography Competition gala evening on 1 October 2011 at the Qantas Founders Museum.
A 2012 calendar of the winners will be printed and available to purchase.
Sections are:
All prize winners will also receive a tour package from Qantas Founders Museum & Kinnon & Co and a 12 month subscription to Vast Arts Inc as well as being hung in the Kinnon & Co Historic Ol’ World Gallery in Longreach.
Competition forms and terms and conditions are now available. For more information contact Shelley at Vast Arts Inc by EMAIL or visit the WEBSITE .
