I don't know about you, but we got 170mm of rain at our house yesterday - that's nearly 7 inches! In the heaviest part of it I hung out the bedroom window, taking photos of the whipping wind and rain as cars passed our driveway, which had become a river, rushing to the storm drains. Coincidentally, the Burnett Mary Regional Group is running a stormwater photography competition to help people to understand what stormwater pollution means for the environment, and for us. The competition closes on the 17th of March, and you can enter up to five photos of stormwater problems or their solutions. Based on how the weather has been lately there should be a few more opportunities for capturing your most impressive stormwater photos before the competition ends! First prize is a $500 gift voucher at Camera House, and ten finalists will have their photo enlarged and printed on canvas by Brilliant Prints, to be displayed in the Bundaberg Arts Centre during April and May!

re: BMRG Stormwater photo competition
Back in February I told you about the BMRG's stormwater photo competition. The closing date for entries was Monday, and today they announced the ten finalists.... which include two of my photos! Click here to see all of the winning photographs, which will be enlarged, printed on canvas and put on display in the Bundaberg Arts Centre beginning in April.
