Wandoan
Photo Challenge 2022
In conjunction with the
Wandoan Show
It’s All about Play in 2022
SLIDESHOW ABOVE
The slideshow above is a selection of shots from the 2021 competition.
In this space we’ll generally focus on photos that didn’t win a prize but, as you’ll see, that doesn’t mean they’re not great shots.
Most of this first selection are from the Top 30.
The 2021 winners can be seen here, the Best Photographer Award selection of shots here and the Judge’s Top 30 here.
To see all of the 2021 entries see below.
HOW TO SEE THE COMPLETE WPC 2021 SLIDESHOW
The slideshow of 200 entries from 2021 can be accessed by clicking on this link which takes you directly to the slideshow within OneDrive. It’s a big file (361 MB) so it takes a while to load.
Once open it automatically starts going through the slides which are arranged by class and category, starting with Open class / Work – General. Each change of class and category is marked by a transition slide.
At the bottom there’s a slide counter and little left and right arrows to move on more quickly or move back. You can also use the arrow keys on your keyboard.
By clicking on “Start Slide Show” towards the top right, it expands to full screen. Here too, you can use your keyboard arrow keys to move on more quickly or go back. Press “Esc” to exit full screen.
The Wandoan Photo Challenge in 2022 is all about “Play” with two new categories, “Adults at Play” and “Kids at Play”. In addition, “Small Town, Big Country” returns as the third category for all “non-play” entries.
Each category offers $1000 of prize money ($500 for 1st, $300 for 2nd and $200 for 3rd). Anyone entering a total of three or more photos across all three categories will be in the running for the Best Photographer Award.
Play doesn’t need much explanation. Your photos could be amusing, off the wall, unexpected or even serious. After all, for some “play” is a very serious business indeed. Formal, informal, teams and groups or just intensely personal, there aren’t any rules.
For Young Photographers there’s just one category – “Small Town, Big Country”. If they capture the oldies making fools of themselves, or some of the crazy things youngsters get up to, they can enter those ‘play’ type shots but they can also enter photos of anything else they like.
So, even more than usual, we look forward to seeing your entries.
