These are the 4 photos that I used to enter into the Joetsu Photo Competition under the category 'Story of 4 photos'. First time I have entered my photos into anything so I was surprised when I got the call that I had won an 1万 prize (Roughly AUD125) as 1 of 6 people in the top of their category. The prize money isn't great compared to the 'Overall Best Photo' award which is a ridiculous 50万 (roughly AUD6,250) but I'm more happy that I will be in the Spring Exibition held at Takada Castle and my photos will get more exposure around my city!
I also entered the 'Event' and 'Nature' categories too but no luck there as they are highly competitive categories.
It was also the first time I have printed out my photos and after seeing them blown up I have decided it would be cool to print a couple out and frame them for the walls of my new apartment.
The photos above are un-edited (apart from the watermark) as requirement of the compitition.
