BUDDING photographers are grabbing their cameras and heading for the beach for a chance to win a share of over $7000 prize money in the Kingston Council’s annual Lens Mist photography competition.
Now in its seventh year, Lens Mist helps celebrate Port Phillip Bay’s beaches and foreshore environment.
“The innovative competition challenges artists to capture an image that evokes Port Phillip Bay while responding to the theme: ‘Our changing environment’, the mayor Cr David Eden said.
“Kingston is proud to support local artists and the annual Lens Mist event is a fantastic opportunity for photographers to share their talent.”
Photographs from 20 finalists will be displayed at the Mordialloc Food, Wine and Music Festival in March which usually attracts more than 40,000 people.
The winner of the Best Photograph Award will receive a $5000 prize.
Kingston Council sponsors a $2000 People’s Choice Award, $500 Junior Lens Mist prize and $250 Voter’s Award.
Entries for Lens Mist are open now and must be submitted by Wednesday 18 January.
