Photo competition to celebrate community

Braybrook and Maidstone residents are being encouraged to dust off their cameras, get out their phones or even use a polaroid to take pictures of the people and places they like best.

Once the photos are captured, they can be sent in to the Braybrook and Maidstone Neighbourhood House (BMNH) photo competition which is underway now.

Aimed at celebrating what members of the community like most about Braybrook and Maidstone, the competition runs until May 29, with prizes for first, second and third place on offer.

It could be a local legend, a favourite park or reserve, a childhood street or any other location that holds a special story.

As long as the picture is of what the photographer believes best represents Braybrook and Maidstone, it can be submitted to the competition and go in the running for prizes which will be announced at a special barbeque celebration on Tuesday, June 10.

Even those photographers whose pictures don’t finish in the top three will still receive recognition, with all images put on display at the June 10 barbeque for contestants and community members to enjoy.

Only one photo can be submitted person and anyone requiring further information can call the BMNH on (03) 9317 5610.

The launch of the photo competition is part of a busy March at BMNH, with weekly playgroup on Mondays from 10am to 12pm, a decoupage workshop with Beverly Inch at 1pm on Monday, March 31, weekly mosaics and crafts classes on Wednesdays from 10am to 12pm and spiritual growth and development classes with Dianne Langdon every Thursday from 10.30am to 12.30pm.
