The photographic competition provides an opportunity for participants to personally connect to the people and places of the 5 Lands Walk district. By thinking about what the 5 Lands Walk and the communities connected by it stand for you will be able to interpret that idea visually.

Entries will be assessed by a panel of judges, and the photos that best capture the creative theme below will be selected for prizes or merit awards and special display.  They may also be used by 5 Lands Walk Inc. in future promotion of the event. Assessment for awards will be based on a range of criteria including
  • Best interpretation of the subject
  • Technical and artistic merit
The competition is designed to appeal to both "happy snappers" and keen hobby photographers.  Remember, it's "snap the spirit" that counts.
