A photography competition to highlight the beauty of the South West region has been launched by the South West Development Commission.
The unique photography project aims at capturing one week in the South West region of Western Australia.
Between March 2 and March 8, people are encouraged to head out with their cameras and take photographs that depict what it’s like to live, work and play in the South West.
People who submit entries into the This South West Life photography competition will have the chance of winning prizes and being featured in a commemorative calendar.
The 2016 wall calendar will be released later this year and be made available for free as a way of promoting the region.
In addition to having their work showcased, the creators of the top 13 entries will each win an autographed DVD copy of the South West-filmed movie Drift.
SWDC chief executive officer Don Punch encouraged both residents and visitors to start thinking about ideas for their photos.
“They say a picture is worth a thousand words and with this in mind we want you to use your creativity to show what this wonderful region means to you,” he said.
“From the entries received, we hope to have a collection of photographs that capture the spirit of the South West and showcase what this region is all about.”
All entries must be submitted by 5pm, March 9, with winners expected to be announced in April.
