Theme:The theme of our competition is 'Life on the Road’. The judge will be looking for entertaining shots that capture the spirit of the grey nomad lifestyle Perhaps it’s a shot of a travelling companion landing a monster barramundi, or a fellow traveller panning for gold, or falling asleep in a campchair. Perhaps it’s your rig with a flat tyre, or camels crossing in front of you on a remote highway. Perhaps it’s a spectacularly scenic campsite or a bush poets’ night around a campfire. As usual, we expect the boundaries of the category to be challenged so use your imaginations. The competition will run for a fairly lengthy period to give you all the opportunity to take a ‘winning’ shot. When you post your entry, please feel free to tell the story behind the picture and also to comment on each other’s entries. There are three great prizes to be won but fun, friendship – and maybe a bit of frivolity – are the real aims of the game. Please enjoy.
Date: Sept 15 – Dec 15, 2011
