Hey photo fanatics! It’s time to dust off that camera or grab your phone!

The Mary River Catchment Coordinating Committee (MRCCC) is calling for your most gorgeous shots for this year’s Spring in the Mary Photo Competition.

We’re looking for images that perfectly capture that unique, dazzling springtime vibe across the entire Mary River catchment. Show us the beauty—the hidden gems, the vibrant life, the stunning landscapes—that make this place so special!

Cash Prizes & Glory Await! 💰

There’s a huge $500 cash prize for the overall Best in Competition! Plus, plenty of other cash prizes across awesome categories like:

Junior (Show us what the kids can do!), Wildlife (Hello, cute critters!), Rural (Farm life is the best life!), Rivers and Creeks (Our beautiful waterways!), Coastal and Estuary (Ocean vibes!)

Want to be the fan favourite? All entries will be displayed at the Mary River Festival on July 11, 2026, where we’ll have a live vote for the People’s Choice winner!
