The BrisStyle Market Stalls at St Augustine’s Anglican Church in trendy Racecourse Road, Hamilton

All of my popular and best selling photographic prints will be available to purchase including the award-winning Lean on Me plus many more matted prints of my gorgeous garden guests.

I am also launching, for the very first time, my brand new “Australian Rainforest” vector illustrations which I am personally very proud of.  These incredibly detailed and brightly coloured illustrations should appeal to younger children and would make fantastic wall decorations for the nursery as well!

The theme is The Australian Landscape and includes, seascapes, urban and industrial landscapes, skyscapes, and any image where the main point of interest is the landscape.

It can include people or animals as long as the landscape is the main feature.

You are the stars, you have the chance to take home the glory, you are ones who will be talked about for years to come. This competition will reward the best in enthusiast photography in Australia. Yes that’s right, it is only open to non-professional photographers and the images to be entered can only have been shot in Australia or an Australian territory. No shots of the Himalayas here, this is a competition to show we have the most beautiful country in the world and the best photographers.

The photographs entered must be of a landscape but can include urban, cityscapes or landscapes with people. No portraits or weddings please, Yikes!!

The winners will be judged by some of Australia’s best photographers, including Peter Eastway, Tom Putt, David Evans and Nick Rains.

So now start thinking about what you have that might win this competition. Why is it called the “Landscape 500″?, that is the number of entries that are allowed. Most competitions attract thousands of entries, this one is different, it is a limited edition you could say. Each person will be able to upload 3 images per entry but you will be able to enter as many times as you like, each entry of three images comes off the 500 allowable. So do the stats, 500 possible entries, 4 prizes, your chances of taking something away are pretty good.

Let the games begin!

Check out the prizes here

1. Closing Date: Entries and the Entry Fee must be received by 31st of October 2010.
2. The Entry Fee is $50.00 for three images. You can enter as many times as you like.
