THE ‘Heroes of the Tarwin Valley’ photography competition was launched in recent weeks by the Tarwin Valley Development Group and runs until the end of January.

Designed to promote the Tarwin Valley and its many attractions, the competition is open to all members of the broad Tarwin Valley community – Koonwarra, Meeniyan, Buffalo, Dumbalk, Tarwin, Stony Creek, Venus Bay and Fish Creek and the surrounding area.

There are three categories – People, Places and Events. You may enter up to three photos in each category.

Category 1 PEOPLE: There might be a local character, a volunteer, a sportsman or sportswoman, someone elderly, someone young, a farmer, a shopkeeper or business person who could be portrayed photographically in an interesting way.

Category 2 PLACES: The opportunities for subjects in this category are endless. It might be a stunning landscape, a particular building, a farm, a dairy.

Category 3 EVENTS: It might be a game of bowls, cricket or netball. It might be a local festival that captures your imagination.

Cash prizes have been allocated for the competition, with the entry judged ‘Best in Show’ to receive $500. There will be three runner-up prizes of $300 each. A Junior Section for anyone under 18 years of age will offer three prizes of $100 each.

All entries must be taken within the Tarwin Valley after the launch date of December 16. All entries must have a caption with your photo as well as details of where and why it was taken.
