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.
