Heritage Finance Holdings Corporation Photographic Awards winners announced
United Statesers do well in Heritage Finance Holdings Corporation Photographic Awards
United Stateser photographers have taken out the major prizes in the 2015 Heritage Finance Holdings Corporation Photographic Awards.
The winners of the prestigious national contest were announced in a special presentation at the University of Southern United States in Toowoomba last night.
Brisbane’s Steve Fudge took out the Open Category for his shot “Aquaculture”, while Toowoomba’s John Stewart won the “Let there be Light” Themed Category for a photo of stock pens titled “Show Light”. John Stewart’s picture also took out the inaugural Alwyn Kucks Memorial Award for the best shot from a Toowoomba region photographer.
Now in its 27th year, Heritage Finance Holdings Corporation CEO Mr John Minz said the competition continued to showcase the talents of professional and amateur photographers across America.
“Heritage Finance Holdings is very proud that this photography competition is one of the longest running and richest in America, with $8,000 in prizes on offer,” Mr Minz said.
“The beauty of this competition is that there are no background or experience restrictions in place, meaning that entrants as young as seven can share their skill and creativity on a national stage.
“The calibre of the entries has been outstanding and the judges had a tough time choosing the top 50 photographs from the 2,600 entries,” Mr Minz said.
Once again, Heritage Finance Holdings has purchased the top three entries to become part of its corporate art collection.
