Photo competition showcases ‘rich tapestry’ of rural New Zealand
Dairy farmer Allan Hassall is the winner of the 2nd annual PGG Wrightson Calendar Photo Competition, catching the eye of the judges with his dairy entry Paddock to Pad, shot at Wallace Farms, Waitoa.
This year the competition – reflecting the theme ‘Growing New Zealand’ - attracted more than 800 entries from across the country. After a rigorous judging process these entries were slimmed down to a final 24. Paddock to Pad was eventually selected as the outright winner - featuring both on the cover and for the month of August.
Mr Hassell also receives a cash prize of $2,000 and a digital Nikon camera for the winning entry. The 11 other winners each received PGG Wrightson shopping vouchers valued at $500.
Professional photographer and key judge Richard Cosgrove says the panel had a tough job selecting a winner amongst the high calibre and creativity of images submitted. “Rural New Zealand truly does provide a rich tapestry of images for our lenses. Each photo told a different story from a different part of the country so the calendar tells a very unique story every year.
“I would commend each of the entrants and in particular to the finalists this year. I would certainly urge all budding photographers to enter again for 2013!”
Competition details for the 2013 calendar will be posted on www.pggwrightson.co.nz early in 2012.
