Wyndham’s young photographers again have the opportunity to showcase their skills, with the 8th annual Way Out West photography competition open for entries.
Run by Wyndham libraries and youth services, the competition offers prizes in six categories, including best portrait, best landscape, best use of technology and the grand prize for overall winner.
Wyndham councillor Jasmine Hill urged the municipality’s young people to enter.
“If you are a young person aged between 12 and 25 years who reside, toil, study or socialise in Wyndham, and are looking for a way to express your creative impulses, then this competition is tailor-made for you!”
Councillor Marcel Mahfoud said entrants get to explore both their own artistic talents and their local surroundings.
“This is a great opportunity for budding photographers and local creatives to make a mark and gain recognition for their creativity, and at the same time explore the many wonders of
Wyndham.”
Prizes include $500 for the overall winner and will be announced on July 13 on Wyndham council’s website and social media pages.
Entries are open until the end of the month and entrants are encouraged to submit photos in keeping with their chosen category.
