MEMBER for Nicholls, Mr Sam Birrell is calling on established and amateur photographers in Nicholls to submit photographs for the first annual 2023 Our People of Nicholls Calendar.
The calendar will be distributed to thousands of households and businesses across Nicholls and this year’s theme highlights the people who live in Nicholls. The photos should capture the characters, charm and culture of the electorate.
“I’m looking forward to seeing the incredible work of photographers and having their shots and names printed and hung on thousands of walls and fridges in homes across Nicholls,” Mr Birrell said.
The top 12 entries will be judged by Mr Birrell himself and will include photo credit, while the winning photograph will be used as the cover image, with a $100 gift voucher to a Goulburn Valley photography store being awarded to the top photographer.
Each entrant is entitled to submit three landscape photographs in colour or black and white and they may be lightly edited. Photos taken by mobile phone are welcome but must be high resolution.
Photographers must ensure that they have the permission of the people in their submitted photographs to enter the competition, and they are willing to have their image used on a range of platforms.
Entrants can make their submissions by emailing sam.birrell.mp@aph.gov.au or by dropping their entry form into Mr Birrell’s office at 426 Wyndham Street Shepparton, by Monday October 3, 2022.
