JUDGING
An independent, professional photographer will do the judging. Each entry will only be identified by a number.
1. Category Prizes – for Open entrants (18 and over) the judge will award 1st, 2nd and 3rd prizes in each of four categories (“Dusk til Dawn”, “Wild n Free”, “Drone” and “Small Town, Big Country”). For Young Photographers (under 18) there is one category, “Small Town, Big Country”.
2. Local Entrants’ Prizes – the judge will award a minimum of two prizes (regardless of category) to local Wandoan district entrants: an Encouragement – Open prize and an Encouragement – Youth prize. These prizes may be split amongst multiple entrants.
3. Best Body of Work Award – (prize money $300) is open to anyone who enters three or more photos. This award is about finding the best photographer, rather than the one best photo. It is decided by the judge and rewards consistent high quality and creativity over at least three photos entered by the one photographer. Winning it will be a real honour.
4. People’s Choice Prizes – the judge will choose her favourite 30 photos from all entries and printed copies of these will be on display at the Wandoan Show. Everyone attending is encouraged to vote for their personal favourite and these votes added together, will determine the People’s Choice 1st, 2nd and 3rd prizes.
