The Lakeland community is preparing to look through the viewfinder for its fourth annual photography competition, where the beauty of the town is showcased through the eyes of its people.
With six categories and $3,000 worth of prizes up for grabs, organiser Stefanie O’Kane said the competition is one photographers and amateurs of all ages could get involved in.
“We do the usual Easter and Christmas community events, but the photo comp is just something that’s more special for the area, because you get to see some really beautiful local photos and ideas,” Ms O’Kane said.
“We get a lot of entries from different groups of people; we do have people that are photographers that enter, but plenty of other people get involved, too.
“I think it’s a really good event, because it covers all ages and all levels, so it allows more people to be involved.”
Entries will be on display at the Lakeland Town Hall on 17 August, where the community can see the works and cast their votes for the popular People’s Choice category.
“The event is actually on the Saturday, but you have to have your entries in by the Tuesday before, which is the thirteenth,” Ms O’Kane explained.
“We start around four o’clock, so the hall will be open and people can mosey in and have a look through and vote.
“We’ll have some live music, a barbecue and a bar, and it’ll be a nice, relaxing afternoon.”
