Photographers with a love of the Aussie bush are being urged sharpen their focus for Rural Aid’s annual competition.
The regional charity has launched its 6th Spirit of the Bush Photo Competition and is inviting all Australians to share striking images that capture the strength, resilience, and beauty of life on the land. (Enjoy a selection of last year’s winners below)
Rural Aid CEO John Warlters said the competition, which was accepting entries until August 31, was a powerful platform for rural and regional Australians to tell their stories through the lens.
Mr Warlters said this year’s competition came after another challenging season of natural disasters, with floods, fires, and droughts once again testing the resolve of the nation’s rural heartland.
“Every year, we are humbled by the entries we receive, each photo is a tribute to the unwavering spirit of our farming families and communities,” he said.
“The Spirit of the Bush competition is more than a showcase of talent. It’s a reminder of the grit and determination that keeps rural Australia going, even through the toughest of times.”
Mr Warlters said winners would be announced on September 15.
