Entries for photographs to feature in the 2024 Goulburn Broken Catchment calendar close next month.
The popular calendar is known for its fantastic collection of local images and information on flora, fauna and natural landscapes.
Goulburn Broken Catchment Management Authority project coordinator, Janice Mentiplay-Smith, said the calendar photo competition was a great way for local people to showcase their photographic skills of plants, animals and the environment.
“Each year we produce and distribute the calendars across the region,” Ms Mentiplay-Smith said.
“The competition has been running for more than a decade now and entering it has become quite a tradition for keen photographers and nature lovers.
“The images in this year’s calendar were chosen from more than 300 entries.”
Preference is given to photographs of local plants or animals in their natural state, insects, waterways or other natural features that tell a story about the Goulburn Broken catchment.
“We always receive extremely positive feedback on the quality of the calendar and the fact it contains amazing images of the local environment, taken by local people,” Ms Mentiplay-Smith said.
“I encourage everyone to grab their camera and get out into the natural environment and see what they can find.”
Photos must be colour, between 2-10MB, in a landscape format and a JPEG image.
Email entries to janicem@gbcma.vic.gov.au No USBs. Please include your name and address in the email and include a subject line. 10MB limit per email.
Entries close 14 August 2023.
