Capturing Seddon

The Seddon community is being encouraged to gear up and let their photography passion surge for Snapshots of Seddon.

Seddon Village Traders Association president Suzanne Saunders said the competition is a chance for the community to record and celebrate the changes in Seddon over the years.

Locals of all ages can submit photos showcasing the Seddon community, people and history until September 1.

The photos will then be exhibited in Seddon Village shopfronts, with the community able to vote for their favourite snaps online between mid-September and November 1.

“The event is all about bringing the community together,” Ms Saunders said.

“The exhibition will be interactive rather than online. We want to encourage people to get together in Seddon.”

Ms Saunders said the vibrant and tight-knit suburb has witnessed rapid changes in the past few years.

“We imagine it would be quite different to the historic pictures because there have been a lot of changes – in the actual landscape but also in the community. When you have changes in the community, you will have different perspectives,” she said.
