OneFortyOne External Affairs Manager Charlene Riley said the competition aimed to encourage students to get out and connect to our unique and ever-changing landscape.
“We were thrilled with the entries in last year’s competition, especially with the short stories accompanying the photos,” Ms Riley said.
Along with entering photos, students will again be asked to submit 50 or so words to share what connects them to the forest.
“From riding horses through the pines with their siblings, to dreaming of operating a harvester like their dad, to just wanting to one day see a monkey, it was inspiring finding out how students connected to the forest in different ways,” Ms Riley said.
“Forestry is our day-to-day and it’s refreshing to discover this range of perspectives.
“We’re really looking forward to seeing the new entries this year.”
Winners will be selected in primary school and secondary school categories and awarded with their choice of a new MacBook Air, iPad Air, or DJI drone.
To enter the competition, email: [email protected] along with your photographs and completed entry form.
