The QCWA Photography Competition for the Gympie South Burnett Division was held recently at the Murgon QCWA rooms.

The photographs are judged at Branch level before coming to Division.

The winning photos from Division will now go onto Region Level to be judged. The final winning photos go onto State Level at Conference.

This competition is open to QCWA members and non-members.

This year there were 313 entries, although some were not entered in last year’s competition due to ill-health by some members.

“I was very pleased with the amount of entries and the quality of the photos which made the judging a great challenge for Clive Lowe. I am grateful for Clive being the judge this year,” said Gympie South Burnett QCWA Division Photography convenor Miriam Pascoe.
