ANYONE can take a photo … but can anyone take a prize-winning photo?
The Warburton and Yarra Junction Community Bank branches’ fifth Annual Calendar Competition and Exhibition will give Upper Yarra shutterbugs of all ages and abilities the chance to show off their photographic talent, and share in $2000 in prizes.
The rich pool of entries in the competition over the years has shown that the region is not only a great natural resource for photographers, but has an innate ability to inspire a diverse and creative view through the lens.
Under the theme “Upper Yarra – My Place, My Community”, 12 winning photographs which capture the magic of the Upper Yarra Valley will be used to create the Community Banks’ 2017 community calendar.
Two winning entries will be selected by specially chosen judges – there will be a People’s Choice, a Director’s Choice and staff at both Warburton and Yarra Junction will also have an opportunity to choose a winning entry. Six additional photographs will also make the calendar cut.
To be eligible, entrants must live or work in the 3799 or 3797 postcode areas.
For full details and entry forms, visit www.upperyarra.net.au or call into the Yarra Junction or Warburton Community Bank branch.
Entries close at 5pm on Thursday, 21 July, 2016.
