Rockhampton Regional Council is celebrating World Environment Day with the launch of its annual Sustainability in Action Photo Competition.
Rockhampton Region Mayor Tony Williams said the competition is about showcasing the ways that local households and schools are doing their part for the environment.
“Our community does a lot of great work in this space, and we want to recognise and celebrate these efforts,” Mayor Williams said.
“This photo competition is different to others in the sense that we aren’t looking for those breathtaking landscapes or sunsets, but rather photos that demonstrate how our local residents put sustainability into action each and every day.
“Of course, entrants can get creative in how to capture these but overall, it’s about providing examples of the kinds of actions that can have a huge impact on our households, our budgets and of course, our environment.
“It might be a photo of your family tending to your veggie garden, upcycling something instead of discarding it, caring for our local habitat or the ways you conserve water.
“There are different categories to enter, and great prizes to be won for each – so get snapping and send them in for your chance to win.
“We’re really excited to launch this competition today in celebration of World Environment Day and we can’t wait to see the amazing work that our local schools, families and individuals are doing.”
The competition is open to all residents and schools in the Rockhampton Region.
Entries are now open and close 5pm Friday, 16 August 2024.
