2011 PGG Wrightson Annual Photo Calendar Competition


Helping Grow the Country


Thanks to those who entered photos for PGG Wrightson’s annual Calendar Photo Competition, reflecting the theme ‘Growing New Zealand’.

We were thrilled with the response receiving over 800 entries from across New Zealand. The judging panel had their work cut out for them due to the high calibre and creativity of images submitted.

Professional Photographer and key Judge Richard Cosgrove is the Illustration Editor for the Press. He manages a team of 11 including eight Photographers, two Picture Editors and one Cartoonist. Richard comes from a family of photographers, his brothers are all professional and his experience has come from years on the job. He also holds degrees in sociology and psychology.

There can be only twelve winners. The deserving overall winner is Allan Hassell whose image is titled Paddock to Pad, will be shown on the front page of the 2012 Calendar (4MB) and on the month of August.

There were many that came close and were awarded ‘honourable mentions.’

We look forward to seeing your entries come in next year!
