Photos wanted of gum trees

The Killcare Wagstaffe Trust has launched its annual Sydney Red Gum Photography Competition.

Group president Mr David Legge said the competition was sure to attract the interest of both local and Sydney photographers.

"The Killcare Wagstaffe Trust angophora photographic competition is now on," Mr Legge said.

"The only rule about content is that part of at least one Sydney Red Gum (smooth barked apple, angophora costata) must be a substantial part of the composition."

Mr Legge said the competition would feature both a print and digital category.

"Prints must be mounted for exhibition which can be as simple as fixing it to a cardboard backing," Mr Legge said.

"Digital images should be in jpeg format and submitted on a CD or DVD.

"One entry per person in each category will be accepted."

Mr Legge said winners of the competition would be announced at a special exhibition to be held in the Maitland Bay Centre across the October long weekend.

Entry forms will be available from the Maitland Bay Centre or at www.killcarewagstaffetrust.org.au in the near future.
