Call to shutterbugs

The Great Southern is one of the most stunning places to take photos in Western Australia.

To celebrate our great region, theAlbany Advertiser and Professionals Albany have teamed up for theI Love Albany photo competition.

There are more than $2800 in prizes available across three categories with entries open to amateur and professional photographers.

Professionals sales manager Rob Mason said the business was excited to launch the popular competition again which will run in August and September.

“We feel this is a great opportunity to promote the obvious community pride we all feel for the region and to share its many amazing sights, vistas and natural attractions,” he said.

“The I Love Albany campaign has been running for a number of years now and has proved to be a great way of giving back to the community that supports our business and also to raise money for the National Breast Cancer Foundation.”

The finalists’ work will be printed and displayed at an exhibition with funds from an auction of the works going to the foundation.

Adv ertiser editor John Dobson encouraged shutterbugs to send in their entries.

“This year it is so easy to enter via Instagram or Facebook, using the #ILoveAlbanyWA tag,” he said. “We know how many good photographers are out and about around Albany.”
