Botanic Garden 150th ‘Fresh Shoots’ Photo Competition: Summer Season
October 1, 2018 @ 12:00 am - January 13, 2019 @ 11:30 pm
Wellington Photographic Society is partnering with Excio, NZ Photographer magazine, New Zealand Photography Workshops, Wellington Photographic Supplies, and Nikon to celebrate the 150th anniversary of the Wellington Botanic Garden with a 12-month photo competition. The photo competition is open to amateur and professional photographers, including youth aged 14-18-years.
The competition is split into four quarterly competitions based on each of the four seasons. Entries for the Summer quarter close on 22 March 2019.
Entrants can submit one image per season and are encouraged to capture the seasonal aspects of life at the garden, then select the best category for their image when completing the entry form and uploading their image to www.excio.io/freshshoots. Terms and conditions are also available online.
Each season, a panel of expert judges will assess images on the basis of quality, creativity, and how the image captures the unique seasonal aspects of the botanic garden. Prizes will be awarded for the seasonal winners as well as the best image in each category – People, Nature, Events, and Creative. A Supreme winner will be selected from the eight seasonal winners at the conclusion of the 12-month competition. For details of prizes go to the October Impact Newsletter available at www.wps.org.nz.
Summer entries close midnight Friday 22 March 2019. Full entry details available at www.excio.io/freshshoots
