♦ Where photographic entries are of people, or property, not related to or owned by you or your family, permission must be obtained from the relevant individual(s) or businesses. If the person is a minor, consent must be obtained from a parent or guardian. By entering a photograph you are agreeing to these terms and conditions and confirming you have obtained permission. This is your responsibility.

♦ Only images taken within a 100 km radius of Wandoan will be eligible for entry (see map).

♦ For Open entrants (over 18) there are four categories (“Happiness Is …..”, “A Sight For Sore Eyes”, “Drone” and “Small Town, Big Country”). For Young Photographers (18 and under) there is one (“Small Town, Big Country”). All entries are to be submitted online and in JPEG format.

♦ Photographs must have been taken from 16th March, 2024 and entries close on 14th March 2025.

♦ Images must not include watermarks or other branding.

♦ All prize winners (except People’s Choice winners) will be determined by an independent judge.

These decisions will be final and no discussions or correspondence will be entered into.

♦ Wandoan Photo Challenge, the Wandoan Show Society and Senex Energy retain the right to freely use images for promotional purposes but otherwise the copyright of any entered image remains solely with the photographer. Where possible entrants will be credited when photographs are used, however this is not guaranteed.
