Michelle Evans, Director of Economic & Community Development, expressed her gratitude to the community for their enthusiastic participation.
"We are thrilled with the incredible response to the photography competition. The residents of Leeton have truly showcased the beauty and vibrancy of our region through their stunning photos. We appreciate everyone who took the time to submit their work."
The judging panel, consisting of four Councillors and two Council Staff members, faced a challenging task selecting the winners due to the high quality and creativity of the submissions.
Council is pleased to announce that all shortlisted photos, including the three winning entries, will be exhibited at the Leeton Museum and Art Gallery at a special exhibition in late August/early September. More details about this exciting event will be revealed soon.
Leeton Shire Council congratulates all the winners and thanks all participants for their outstanding contributions.
