START scrolling through your phone’s image gallery or double-check your desktop photo files – time is running out to submit images for the 2025 Moree Show photography competition.
The competition, sponsored by McGregor Gourlay Moree, is always keenly contested, and photographers are encouraged to submit their work to Mark Coulton’s office at 69 Heber Street this week.
There are more than 30 categories for all ages, from kindergarten upwards. There is an open section for all ages as well as junior sections, including secondary school Years 7-12, primary Years 3-6 and infants Years 1 and 2.
There’s even a kindergarten and pre-school category. Open section images need to be 15cm x 20cm – or 6x8s in the old money – and fixed to black cardboard with a 2.5cm border.
People submitting entries are encourages to mount photos using a glue or glue stick that won’t “buckle” the images. Double-sided sticky-tape is also an ideal option.
Full rules and competition requirements are listed below.
Categories include Architecture and Environment, Summer in Moree, Big and Little, People as individuals or groups, Monochrome, Animals, Birds, Insects and Pets, Action, Flora and Fauna, Creative Imaging, Weather, Way of Life, In the Garden and Fruit just to name a few.
An open category on any subject and any size is also an option.
Children’s categories are also diverse and include The Bucket for Years 7-12 and My Favourite Shot for Years 1 and 2, and kindergarten and pre-school.
Junior sections also include People, Fauna and Flora, Action and Landscape including seascapes, and sunrises and sunsets.
Entry cost is just $1 per image with cash prizes across all categories and sections, including $200 and a ribbon for Champion Exhibit.
All entries will be displayed at the Moree Show in the Hobson Pavilion and available for collection on Sunday, April 27 between 9.30am and 11am.
