Pets
Welcome to the 2009 Digital Photograph Competition. This year the theme is "Pets" - animals you have adopted or that have adopted you.
Take a photo of your favourite pet and tell us its name and why you love that pet. Just needs to be a single sentence. Alle ntries need to have the breif explanation with them to be put up. You can also take a photo of some of the wild animals around you - one who may have adopted you. Again, it needs a brief explanation about the animals or how you took the photo (and why).
There are four prizes:
- Junior (K - Yr 1)
- Middle (Yr 2 - 4)
- Senior (Yr 5 - 7)
- Adult (any member of the community outside the classes - parents, home tutors, teachers, older brothers and sisters, etc).
The competition will run over Term 3 (July 20 - Sept 25), and then we will all vote on our favourite photos between Sept 25 and October 30. Prizes will e announced (and maybe even shown) after that.
Email all entries to:
adrian.parsons@det.wa.edu.au
Remember:
- The explanation MUST be included with the photos.
- You can enter as many times as you want.
- Practise taking photos of your pet, until you are happy with one.
- You may need to bribe your pet - offer a doggy biscuit or something.
- Get down to your pet's level (though that may be hard if its a snake).
- Don't be a paparazzi - try not to annoy your pet so it runs off if it sees you grab a camera.
- Try to take an action shot - a photo of your pet doing something.
Looking forward to seeing these 'pet' photos.
Thanks to everyone who entered this year's competition. There were some great photos - in fact the Middle Division had a 3-way tie!
There will be a prize for all Winning Entries (written under the photo), and a certificate, and a Highly Commended awarded to the close second place.
There will also be a small Thank-You certificate given to all entrants (with a little gift of appreciation).
Again, thanks for your entries!
