Rotary Ipomoea is hosting its first photography competition - for a cause, of course - and this is the perfect opportunity for locals to showcase that photo that makes you look twice.
Anyone can enter their photos. They can be printed off on a home computer. Rotarians ask that photos not be framed, just mounted onto cardboard for easy display.
There are no size restrictions. No entry fee for photography entries.
The exhibition is on Saturday 5 July, and will be held in the Club Forbes Function Room.
Rotary Ipomoea members will accept entries right up to the morning of 5 July.
You can book you entry in by emailing or just bring them to the club between 9am and 11am. If you're coming in at 9am, bring photos in through the door on the Victoria Park side.
Judging is from 12noon to 2pm. Rotarians have three independent judges for this event.
The five sections that people can enter in are varied giving lots of options for finding a section for your favourite photos. The sections are: Landscape, Portrait, Animals/Birds, Travel, Focus on Active Forbes, Farm Life/Machinery.
Rotarians really wanted to add the Focus on Active Forbes section because that way people when they are out and about in our town can take some action shots, maybe on the footy field or guarding the soccer goals or climbing the AMAZING sign or marching on ANZAC Day. This section really will be hard to judge! We are hoping for great variety.
The exhibition will be open at 2pm for public viewing of the exhibits and sponsorship has been achieved for first and second prize in each section.
Photographers and all community members are encouraged to come and view the exhibition between 2pm and 5pm - with awards to be presented at 5pm.

The photography competition is raising funds to support Forbes Preschool's speech and language work to help local children be best prepared for starting kindergarten.
