Photography Competition celebrates the beauty of Bathurst 

 
The Bathurst Visitor Information Centre (BVIC) is celebrating the exceptional natural beauty of our region this autumn with a photography competition intended to get the community out and capturing the ever-changing mood of the city and surrounds throughout the season. 

The competition is open to all, with photos to be submitted between Friday, 1  March to Saturday, 24 May to go in the running with two $250 Buy Local Gift Cards up for grabs.

Two winners will be selected, one by the BVIC tourism team and the other by a public vote from a shortlist compiled by BVIC from all submissions received. Public voting will be open in the final week of Autumn from the 24 to 31  May, the winners will be announced on Saturday the 1st of June. 

Mayor Jess Jennings said autumn had always had a special significance for our community. 

“As the weather cools, the urban and natural landscapes transform into palettes of golds, reds, and oranges, setting a picturesque scene that contrasts beautifully with the region’s rich history and heritage.” he said. 

“It is a time when we traditionally celebrate our rich and diverse heritage, as well as the spectacular seasonal variation that is loved by locals and is such a strong drawcard for visitors to our region. This competition is a great way for the community to get creative and a great excuse to get out and explore the region”. 

To be eligible, photos must be taken within the Bathurst region and feature some element of the autumn season. There is no limit on the number of submissions per individual. 

Photos can be submitted and viewed at www.bathurstregion.com.au with additional information and terms & conditions also available on this page or from the staff of the Bathurst Visitor Information Centre.
