Junior Club Competition Winners May 2024

Michelle Reichert from Hibiscus Coast Photographic Society is our May winner!

Michelle, congratulations on your winning image – Pretty Pose

Michelle says:

This is among my first attempts to capture dragonflies while venturing into the world of macro photography. After spending weeks in my garden, they finally got used to me hanging around, and I was lucky enough to capture this photo. What drew me to this particular dragonfly was the beautiful variation of colour.

HOW DOES THIS COMPETITION WORK?

This is a PSSA monthly competition where clubs enter their monthly Senior winner onto Photovault. Appointed judges select the winning image. The monthly winner gets displayed on the home page of our Web site for the duration of the month.

For the Junior Club Competition Winner of the Month, a club representative (ideally the Chairperson) submits the Junior club winner via Photovault at www.photovaultonline.com.

Frequently we do require high resolutions of these images as PSSA use them for Print Exhibitions to promote PSSA as well as showcasing the work being done around the country.

At the end of the PSSA calendar year (30 June of each year) the Senior Club Competition Winning Image of the Year is selected.
