    Think sweeping landscapes, city streets, oceans, starry skies—anything that captures the world around us.
  2. PORTRAIT – “People Around Me”
    Every person has a story. Capture a cheeky grin, a quiet moment, a beautiful expression—even pets with their people.
  3. SHINE – “Celebrating Older People”
    Older community members shine in so many ways. Show a senior citizen working, guiding, helping, or simply enjoying retirement. This is a chance to bring out the best in people who have lived a long and productive life and are now enjoying the sunshine!! Sponsored by The Forrest Centre.
