City of Stirling Photographic Awards 2012

The City Of Stirling, located in Western Australia, is holding it’s 6th Annual Photographic Award and Exhibition. It’s easy to enter and has some fantastic prizes! What’s best is that it is free to enter and open to both amateur and professional Western Australian photographers.
 
There is no theme governing the competition, and there is no need for entries to be photographs taken in the City of Stirling. There is a specific youth category for the younger photographers among us.
 
Whilst the City of Stirling website states you can enter online or via the entry form, you still need to forward a hard copy 11″x14″ (unmounted and unframed) image to the City of Stirling for your entry to be accepted. The postal address is available on the entry form. Only one photograph may be entered per person.

If you happen to be a City of Stirling resident, you’re eligible to win the ‘Stirling Snap’ category – the best entry by a City of Stirling resident. The prize for this category is $350 cash and a $200 Karrinyup Shopping Centre gift card.
 
The winner of the Youth (12-18 years) category will be awarded a $200 Karrinyup Shopping Centre gift card.
 
Lastly, entries will be exhibited at Karrinyup Shopping Centre, where there will be a people choice voting prize of a $200 Karrinyup Shopping Centre gift card, awarded to the image that is most liked by the public..
