Every year the RNA, or the “Ekka” as just about every brisbane resident knows it (its our annual show for all you non queensland people), has a photography competition to go with their other competitions to help support Queenslanders. Along with both painting and drawing, sculpture, even quilting, cookery and a lot more in between, photography sits in with all of these other categories and they have these big competitions. <\/p>\n
Now you don’t win much money (about $100 for first prize) but what you do get is some nice feedback from professional judges about your work and the good bit, for $5 (members cost) you can put your artwork on show for thousands and thousands of people to see. Thats something i have wanted to do for ages, i have always put it off, always said “next year” or “my photos arent good enough.”<\/p>\n
This year i finally pulled my finger out and did something about it. 3 photos were worked on tirelessly for hours and hours, and were fussed over, worried about and even deleted and started again. I finally took those 3 photos to the printer, then the framer to be mounted. The 3 photos are now all handed in, submitted to the RNA for this years competition. Closer to the RNA i will suggest everyone goes to the Ekka and check them out. I will show small previews here so you know what to look for. But I will keep everyone posted as to how it goes.<\/p>\n
Judging is 12Jul but i dont think i find out till at least August how it all goes.<\/p>\n
