Tenterfield Show Society is hosting the competition on behalf of Tenterfield Shire Council, which has allocated $15,000 from its share of the NSW Government Bushfire Community Resilience & Economic Recovery Fund for the initiative.

The top three entries in each of six categories win cash prizes ($600 for first, $350 for second and $250 for third). There's an additional special category for school students, whose winnings will be in the form of a Regional Australia Bank account ($300, $200 and $100 for first, second and third, respectively), plus a mounted print of their entry. Students can enter this and any other category.

Entry is free of charge and the categories are:

Entries are submitted digitally online (in high-resolution, in colour or black-and-white, and with release forms for any image which depicts recognisable people). There's a maximum of two entries per category.

Entries close December 20. Enlargements of winning entries in each category will be printed and framed, and presented at a special function to be held in February at the showground pavilion. These prints will then be auctioned off at the event to raise funds for a local cause.

Entries will also be displayed during the Tenterfield Show, and may be used across social media platforms to promote the shire.

So keep your camera/smartphone with you and be on the lookout for photographic opportunities which show the shire at its best.
