We had an incredible response to our Photography Competition - "Living Local". Thank you to everyone who joined in by uploading photos and submitting votes. It was a wonderful opportunity to showcase and celebrate the beautiful part of the world that we call home.
With so many stunning entries, it was hard to choose a winner. However, the public voted, all the winners have visited the Administration Building to receive their prize, and it is time for the big announcement!
So, with no further ado, the winners are....
1st Prize: Ian, Long exposure of Yass River
2nd Prize: Fran, Bowning Beyond the Mist
3rd Prize: KB, Awakening the Valley
The winners all received a Shop Yass Valley Gift Card and a framed copy of their winning image. All the photos entered into the competition can be viewed here: Living Local Photography Competition | Your Voice Counts
