JUDGING

An independent, professional photographer will do the judging. Each entry will only be identified by a number.

Seventeen prizes will be awarded over three areas of judging. There is also a Best Photographer Award (prize money $500) open to anyone who enters three or more photos.

1. Category Prizes – the judge will award 1st, 2nd and 3rd prizes in each of two categories (“Dogs, Dogs, Dogs” and “Small Town, Big Country”) for Open entrants and also for Young Photographers (12 prizes in total).

2. Local Entrants’ Prizes – the judge will award two prizes (regardless of category) to local Wandoan district entrants: one for Best Adult photo and one for Best Young Photographer photo. It is possible that one or both of these local winning photos could also win a category prize.

3. People’s Choice Prizes – a People’s Choice vote, conducted at the Wandoan Show, will determine overall 1st, 2nd and 3rd prizes. The judge will select 30 photos (the prize-winning photos from 1 & 2 above plus the judge’s next best photos to a total of 30) for people to choose from. Printed copies of these will be on display at the show.
