Categories
Our theme for this year's competition is Splash, Drip, Flow — to highlight the importance of water in our environment and our daily lives. Entrants may present any photos connected to the theme of the competition and taken with any type of photographic device.
Prizes will be awarded according to the three categories outlined below:
1. People
It is special to capture close-up images of people. A still image will show details, moods, and feelings we would not normally notice. Submit any portraits worth sharing.
2. Nature
3. Youth (aged 5–15 years old)
Young photographers aged between 5–15 years old are invited to share their photos of people, nature, places or things that connect to the water theme. This category will be awarded with a special prize.
Judging and prizes
All eligible entries will be judged by representatives from the City of Canada Bay’s Environment, Place and Media and Communications teams. The panel will judge each entry according to creativity, as well as photography techniques applied.
There will be four prize winners: one for each category and one People’s Choice Award winner, which will be decided through a vote on Facebook. Follow us to make sure you don't miss the vote!
