Society photo competition - back for 2024!

Every couple of years the Society organises a photo competition for our members.  In 2022 we repeated the highly successful format of posting the photos on Facebook and the number of likes determining the category winners.  This was a huge success and was really popular, so we’ll be doing the same this year.
Entries close on Monday 23 September, so you’ve got all summer to get some fabulous photos taken, all the entries will posted to Facebook soon after.
 
This year the photographer of the picture with the most overall likes will win a fabulous prize – a complementary half day on-farm photoshoot with Chrissie Long from Country Girl Media*
