Australian Photography magazine monthly competitions
By Darren Stones
Australian Photography magazine is conducting some terrific monthly photography competitions via its website, and the prize each month is well worth pursuing.
The themes to date have been:
During June their competition theme was 'Red', so I entered a portrait of Jon Stevens of Noiseworks, which had a red light shining on his face as he performed live in concert in Melbourne at the North Melbourne Football Ground in March 2011. I missed out on the prize, but it was a great opportunity to display my work amongst a very high standard of entries.
