EARLIER: Do you love taking photos? Then join in on our August photo challenge!
Each day for the 31 days of August, we will post a new photo topic to the Bendigo Advertiser Instagram account, Facebook page and to this story.
You will then have 24 hours to submit one photo based on the topic, before the next one is announced.
There is no requirement to enter a photo in all 31 topics, but the more times you enter, the more chances you have to win.
All entries will be uploaded to the Bendigo Advertiser website in the days following submission.
At the end of the month, the 31 best photos – one from each topic – will be published in the Bendigo Advertiser newspaper and online.
From there, voting in an online poll will determine the people’s choice winner.
Thanks to The Asset Lab the winner will receive a $750 Camera House voucher.
THE RULES
- At 7am each day for the month of August a new photo topic will be posted to the Bendigo Advertiser Instagram account and Facebook page. It will also appear in this story by 10am each day.
- Participants will have 24 hours – until 7am the following day – to submit one photo based on the topic.
- At the end of the month, the 31 best photos – one from each topic – will be published in the Bendigo Advertiser newspaper and online.
- All 31 photos will then go in the running to win the people’s choice award, which will be decided in an online poll on the Bendigo Advertiser website.
HOW TO ENTER
There are two ways to submit your photos. The first is by using #bendigoadvertiser on Instagram; and the second is by submitting it through the form below.
All entries must be submitted before 7am on the day after the topic is released. Eg, Day 2 photos must be submitted by 7am on Day 3.
