| ExplorOz Photo Comp
|
| The ExplorOz Photo Comp is back and this time there’s a twist to coincide with the 2014 National Gathering. The theme is “Aussie Landscapes” and the winning photo will be replicated via an artist who will paint the image onto a 900mm circular saw blade. The image here shows you one of the artist's similar work to give you some idea. This rare, unique and collectible item will be auctioned at the National Gathering that is booked to take place in outback NSW in September 2014.
Entry is only open to ExplorOz Members. The winning photographer will receive an ExplorOz Merchandise Pack plus $150 voucher to spend in the ExplorOz Shop.
To enter, you need to create a Blog on ExplorOz and upload all the photos you wish to submit for selection. Only blogs tagged to the Photo Comp will be considered as valid entries. If you're not yet a Member, we encourage you to join today and join in all the fun of this major event run by the ExplorOz Members.
Entries are now open. Competition closes midnight Friday 7th March, 2014. For more competition information see ExplorOz Photo Competition 2014.
