Hunter photography competition opens for local amateurs

Hunter residents can enter the annual photography competition for amateurs with prizes and recognition.

The Newcastle Herald is looking for the Hunter Region's best backyard photographers. Anyone living in the region can enter.

Your main income can't come from photography. Photographs must be taken in the region or feature Hunter people.

You can use any camera, smartphone, vintage Box Brownie, anything. The judge's choice winners get a $1,100 Harvey Norman voucher.

The people's choice winner gets $900. Last year's winner was Euan Wilcox.

He only started photography months earlier. He won by capturing farm animals with candid humor.
