New travel photography contest launched

[Kim Wildman]

Calling all shutterbugs. A new travel photography contest has been launched in the Northern Rivers region of Australia. Focusing on people and places the competition is being held as part of my efforts to raise money for the War Child Cambodia Cycle Challenge.

The theme, as stated, is 'People & Places' and the competition is open to all residents of the Northern Rivers region of New South Wales with three categories available for entry: Primary (up to 11 years), Secondary (12-17 years), and Open (18 years and over).

Prizes currently up for grabs include $350 worth of cash prizes offered by the Bangalow Chamber of Commerce, Lonely Planet guidebooks and year subscriptions to some of Australia's best travel magazines including Australian Traveller, Get Lost! and Vacations & Travel.

Entry cost is $5 per individual entry and must be submitted in print form. Each photograph should be mounted on black mount board and must not exceed 30cm x 40cm in size (including mount board). No entries will be returned.

Photographs clearly marked with your Name, Age, Address and Telephone Number, should be sent to the attention of Kim Wildman, P.O. Box 611, Bangalow NSW 2479.

Closing date 24 March 2010.
