City calls for stunning snaps

SPECTACULAR: Chris Gonsalves'' stunning photo of Geelong''s waterfront appeared in council''s calendar this year.

A photographic competition attracting some of the most spectacular snaps of Geelong has opened for 2019.

Geelong’s council last Friday called for amateur and professional photographers to submit their best photos of the city by the bay.

The photos would appear in more than 130,000 City of Greater Geelong calendars next year, Mayor Bruce Harwood said.

“Now’s the time to grab your phone or camera and get snapping!”

Entries close on 30 August for this year’s competition, which features four categories: landscapes, architecture and urban spaces, nature and events and people.

The public will vote on the final images to feature in the 2020 City of Greater Geelong Calendar.

“We all know Geelong is a fantastic place to live and visit but we want to see what you love about our region and what makes you proud to live in Geelong,” Cr Harwood said,

“Whether it’s the flora and fauna in the Geelong Botanic Gardens, a quirky or historic building that catches your eye, your favourite beach at sunset or one of our major events, there’s so much to capture in our region.”

Cr Harwood encouraged photographers to visit www.geelongaustralia.com.au/calendar to enter or for more information.
