To win prizes, your photos must be entered before 5pm Friday 30 July

Far North Exposure 2010 is a celebration of the environment and the arts. As a way of celebrating World Environment Day (5th June) with a Far North focus, the Far North Environment Centre is proud to present a series of environmental photographic arts exhibitions featuring the work sourced through a community photo competition.

The 2010 competition theme:

“Our Water, Our Future”

A picture is worth a thousand words is a proverb that refers to the idea that complex stories can be described with just a single still image, or that an image may be more influential than a substantial amount of text.

The photo may be a landscape, a detail of the natural world, or an image that reveals an aspect of human impact on our environment. It is your vision and image, so we will leave it to your imagination.

The categories:

The competition is divided into three age categories

• Infant to 16 years old
• 17 to 40 years old
• 41 years and over

The prizes:

A category winner will be selected from each of the three age categories. Each category winner will win a Fujifilm J28 Splashpack underwater digital camera, plus one week’s camping at a Far North Department of Conservation campsite.

One overall winner selected from the category winners will also receive a $100 gift voucher redeemable from Trees Company Nursery.
