Ellerslie International “Focus on Flowers Photography Competition” Update

Unfortunately we will not be able to hold the (almost) annual competition this year, 2012.

Fortunately we will be running it next year, 2013.

The good news is that you will have a whole year - summer, autumn, winter and spring - to work on your entry.

So get your thinking cap on and capture some images expressing the character of flowers.

The topic categories will be:

There will be a special section for photographers under 15 years old.

Entry forms will be available on line from late October 2012 but don’t wait until then to get started.

We look forward to seeing your images in 2013
