A Blooming Photo Competition

The orchid is a very strange flower - it is generally seen on three occasions; funerals, school proms, and field trips in the rain. Surprisingly similar circumstances, in my experience.

Well here's a chance to break the cycle. The Australian Orchid Council is holding a photographic competition this spring in conjunction with the 19th AOC conference and show. This would appear to be a good one as it has a fair prize offer and an open entry form.

Obviously they are looking for pictures of orchids - and I daresay orchids in relation to the wider environment. In any case you can get a more detailed idea of what they want and what the conditions of entry are by asking them at aocconference@dodo.com.au.

Looks as if they are splitting the contest into two sections; Colour and Black and White. They have mentioned that it is open to anyone over the age of 12 and the prizes on offer are $ 1000 for each of the divisions. They will want to use your pictures for promotional purposes, but you'll get a mention if they do.

They are asking for the works to be submitted mounted on A4 foam boards so that they can be displayed - the conference will be at the Burswood Entertainment Center between the 13-16 of September. As I said, go to their address or website and find out when entries will be required.

So get snapping - still time to take in a few funerals, dances, or days spent slogging through the bush to capture the image - there is $ 2000 and artistic fame ready for the taking.
