Photo Competition Extended

Are you passionate about photography and the natural beauty of our landscape? We invite you to participate in our exciting photo competition, themed "Water in the Landscape." This competition aims to highlight the vital role of water in our environment and inspire awareness and appreciation of our natural surroundings. Whether you’re an experienced photographer or just love taking pictures, this is a fantastic opportunity to showcase your talent and love for nature. 

Suggested Subjects: 

Get inspired by capturing subjects that beautifully represent "Water in the Landscape." Consider photographing animals interacting with water, rain, rainbows, bodies of water, wetlands, dew, droplets, frost, or try your hand at drone photography for a unique perspective. 

Judging Criteria: 

Your submissions will be evaluated based on: 

  • Relevance to Theme: How well the photo captures "Water in the Landscape." 
  • Creativity and Originality: Unique perspectives and innovative compositions. 
  • Technical Quality: Clarity, focus, and overall photographic technique. 
  • Emotional Impact: The ability of the photo to evoke a connection with the viewer. 

Photography Tips: 

For the best results, consider taking photos during the golden hours of early morning or late afternoon, when the lighting is soft and warm. Pay attention to the framing of your shots and try to include interesting elements that lead the viewer’s eye through the image. Experiment with reflections and textures in water to add depth and interest to your photos.

Special Screening of The Blind Sea

Join Us for a Special Screening of The Blind Sea

We are excited to invite you to a screening of The Blind Sea, an inspiring and breathtaking documentary featuring Jacqui’s brother, Matt Formston—an Australian Paralympian and 4x World Champion blind surfer. Diagnosed with Macular Dystrophy at the age of five, Matt has defied the odds, overcoming judgment and prejudice to succeed at the highest level, both in and out of the water.

This thought-provoking documentary not only explores Matt’s remarkable career but also his attempt to break the world record for a blind surfer by tackling the monster waves of Nazaré. Alongside insights from surfing legends like Layne Beachley AO, Sam Bloom, and Joel Parkinson, Matt’s story is sure to inspire, especially as he aims to motivate the next generation.

This screening is also a fantastic opportunity for our network to come together, connect, and enjoy an uplifting evening. Bring a friend and join us for a night of adventure and community!

We hope to see you there!
