The popular Aqwest photographic competition is on again with the theme of ‘water art’.
Students from primary and high schools in the Greater Bunbury area are eligible to enter the 12 years and under and 13 to 17 years categories and will go in the running to win prize money for themselves and their schools. Two board prizes will also be awarded.
The placegetters' photos will be showcased in the 2017 Aqwest calendar.
Bunbury professional photographers Jeff Henderson from Henderson Photographics, Paul Webster from Webster's Studios and Paul Verhagen from Pyxis Services will once again judge the competition.
"This year's water art theme is an opportunity to really push creativity rather than choose what is in front of us every day," said Paul Verhagen.
"We want to challenge people's inner creativity.
"There has been some really clever photography coming out in the last couple of years and the standard continues to rise, so we are looking forward to seeing this year's entries and what students do with the new theme."
The judges will be looking for technical competence, creativity and representation of the theme.
Aqwest chief executive officer Brad Bevis said water conservation is vitally important for future generations
“Through the competition, Aqwest are engaging an important audience to help advocate to conserve this precious resource, while honing their photography skills,” he said.
Entries open on May 1 and close on June 30, 2017.
Entry forms are available from the Aqwest foyer at 5 MacKinnon Way, Bunbury or onelin at aqwest.com.au.
