Buderim Historical Society Photo Competition FOr B150 "Buderim Then & Now"
As part of Buderim's 150th Anniversary Celebrations throughout
2012 Buderim Historical Society is holding an exciting and
novel photo competition.
Entrants must be amateur photographers and must submit two
photographs of a Buderim scen - one from the “past”, taken by
someone prior to 1961 and one from the “present” of the same
location taken in 2012 by the entrant personally. Entries are
free and each entrant may submit up to three entries.
“Past” photos may be sourced from anywhere, such as personal
collections, the Sunshine Coast Regional Library at Nambour or
through the Buderim Historical Society (a copy fee may apply) and
it is quite okay if they include people.
"The Historical Society is encouraging prospective entrants to
rummage through granny's old photo albums to find suitable “past”
photos and then go out and take an up-to-date one of the same
location.
"We are quite excited at the prospect of some long lost photos
being unearthed," said the President of Buderim Historical
Society, Prue Cawley.
"There will be three categories: Open, Under 18 and Photographic
Student and there will be two cash prizes of $100.00 and
$50.00 in each section and we are hoping that Buderim school
students will get into the swing of it and show their imagination
with the camera as well as learn something of Buderim's rich
history while sorting through old photos of yesteryear," Ms
Cawley said.
Prior to the judging, short-listed entries will be displayed at
Buderim's Old Post Office and subsequently at Buderim
Pioneer Cottage for the Back to Buderim celebrations in
May.
Entry forms are available at Pioneer Cottage, the Old Post
Office, TAFE Colleges and the University and enquiries to
Buderim Historical Society President Prue Cawley on
54451342.
