Your photos of the place we call home could be selected for the inaugural Our Sunshine Coast Biosphere showcase.
To celebrate International Day of Biosphere Reserves in November, Sunshine Coast Council is encouraging people to share their connection to our local biosphere.
Residents can show how they embrace sustainability where they live, work, play and learn by submitting photographs before October 5.
Selected photographs will be curated into a special showcase which includes an exhibition that can be viewed during November, and the chance to win a share in an award prize pool of $3500*.
The Our Sunshine Coast Biosphere photography showcase launch was timed to coincide with International Day of Biosphere Reserves.
Mayor Mark Jamieson said the Sunshine Coast Biosphere was a special place where “responsible development” sat alongside active conservation.
“We hope this photography showcase will encourage novice or professional photographers to share their images and connection to our Sunshine Coast Biosphere.” said Mayor Jamieson.
Environment and Liveability Portfolio Councillor Maria Suarez said the showcase would capture, in images, the spirit of how the community connected within our region.
“They can share a love for local plants and animals, the way we interact in our green spaces, beaches and waterways and celebrate our people, stunning landscapes and vistas,” Cr Suarez said.
“These shared images and stories will become a valuable memory capsule to look back on in future years.”
