Snowy Valleys sculpture trail photo contest extends deadline as snow stays away
The Snowy Valleys Sculpture Trail winter photography competition pushed back its deadline to September 30. Light snow caused the delay.
Light snow has forced organisers to move the competition deadline back by a month. Entries now close at 11:59pm on Wednesday, September 30.
The competition is run by Sculpture by the Sea with the Snowy Valleys Sculpture Trail. The competition has seen fewer entries than usual.
Some past participants were waiting for another big snowfall before entering. Organisers are now encouraging photographers to capture winter in other ways.
These include frost, mist, changing light and how sculptures interact with landscapes. The winning image does not need to show a single snowflake.

Why it mattersAn extended deadline gives photographers more chances to showcase regional NSW art. Winters are unpredictable, and photographers need time to adapt.
AustraliaThe Snowy Valleys trail, established after the 2019-20 fires, draws tourists to regional NSW; this competition promotes the 150-kilometre trail across Tumut to Khancoban.
