‘Central West Is Best’ Photo Competition Is Back

25 September, 2024 By Canowindra Phoenix Editor

Past winners of the Central West is Best Photography Competition, now in its sixth year: Peta Allen, Busy Down the Race; Maddy Barns, On the Wire; Amelia O’Reilly, Rory in the Mud; Craig Murphy, Yarn Around the Campfire.

Regional Development Australia Central West (RDA Central West) is excited to an­nounce the launch of the annual Central West is Best Photography Competition for 2024. With this year’s theme, “Location, Location, Location”, the competition invites photographers of all ages to capture the unique landscapes, landmarks, and hidden gems that showcase the magic of our re­gion as a location to host an event or film a movie.

The competition is open to all residents of the Central West, with categories for all ages to enter:

• Open (over 18 years)

• Junior (under 18 years)

• Mini (under 10 years)

“We’re thrilled to bring the community to­gether again for this year’s competition,” said Josh Gordon, Director of Regional Development for RDA Central West. “The theme, ‘Location, Location, Location,’ per­fectly highlights the pride we have in the natural beauty and vibrant culture of our re­gion. Whether you’re a seasoned photog­rapher or just starting out, this competition offers a wonderful opportunity to showcase the Central West’s diverse and stunning lo­cations.”

Participants are encouraged to sub­mit images that reflect the essence of what makes the Central West a remark­able place to live, work, and explore. From sweeping landscapes to the heart of our local towns, each photo will celebrate the unique character of the area.

Submissions for the 2024 competition are open until 5pm, October 20, 2024, and winners in each category will receive excit­ing prizes, including opportunities for their work to be featured in RDA Central West publications and online channels.

Entrants can find out more and submit up to four photographs via www.rdacentral­west.org.au. Images can be new or taken any time in the past, with winners to be an­nounced early November.
