'Dangar Life' Photo Comp

Initiated by Michael Liebenberg, the 2026 Dangar Life Photo Comp received a total of 160 photos from 144 people across three age categories of under 9's; under 16's; and adults.

 

Process: The photos were categorised and anonymised by Nicola for judges Hilary and Genevieve, who had the difficult task of narrowing down the entries into their personal top picks. The judges then deliberated for over 2 hours, discussing the merits of their selections before agreeing on the final 5 and the winner of each category. 

​

Judging: Making the final decisions was not an easy task by any measure. Ultimately, the top 15 images were selected based on composition, exposure, and the thought or story within the frame, but above all else, they needed to capture a uniquely 'Dangar Life' moment.

 

Of course, there were many excellent photos that met these criteria yet, sadly, still did not make it to the top 5. The judges found this particularly tough, and - as is the nature of these things - there is a good chance you won't agree with the final selection either, which is why it is now your turn to choose your favourites.

​

People's Choice: Simply heart your absolute favorites in the categories below (not the Judges' picks) and the photo with the most hearts will be announced in the next Mullet Mail.

​

Prizes: The winner of each category will receive a $60 book voucher and the winner of the People's Choice will receive a $50 voucher for the Dangar Island Depot.
