Member for Nicholls Sam Birrell is calling on established and amateur photographers from across the region to submit photographs for the annual 2024 Nicholls calendar.
This year’s calendar will focus on all things local and capture what makes the electorate of Nicholls unique.
The Nicholls electorate includes the northern part of Mitchell Shire – towns such as Broadford, Pyalong, Tallarook and Seymour – and extends to the New South Wales border.
Mr Birrell said it was an opportunity to shine the spotlight on the region and encouraged people of all ages to submit a photograph.
“My 2024 calendar will capture the characters, culture and charms that define our electorate,” he said.
“It could be a shot of a local farm, community group, weather event, post box, puppy, cow, watering hole, tourist destination, sports club – whatever is local I want to see it.”
The top 12 entries, judged by Mr Birrell, will be used in the calendar with photo credit, while the photo for the front cover will receive a $100 gift voucher to a Goulburn Valley photography store of their choice.
Pictures should be named and must be in landscape form, either in colour or black and white. The photo may be lightly edited, and pictures taken on a mobile phone are acceptable.
To submit photos, email sam.birrell.mp@aph.gov.au or drop it in at 426 Wyndham Street, Shepparton, by November 1.
