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.
