Local photographers have the chance to showcase the beauty of the Burdekin region with the launch of Sunwater’s third annual photo competition.
The competition invites submissions of striking images featuring Sunwater dams, weirs, irrigation channels, or snapshots of locals enjoying these sites for recreation.
The winning photo will grace the cover of the 2027 Sunwater Calendar, while 12 additional finalists will have their work featured throughout the calendar and receive prizes.
The contest is open to all Queensland residents aged 18 and over, with no limit on the number of entries. To qualify, photos must be taken from publicly accessible areas, and entrants are reminded to follow all on-site safety signage and guidelines.
The initiative aims to highlight the region’s natural beauty and the talent of local photographers.
“[We] look forward to celebrating the beauty of regional Queensland’s landscapes and the creativity of the local photographers who capture them,” said a Sunwater Spokesperson.
