If you win, you will go on a trip for two (you and a parent or another adult in your family) to the rainforest in Borneo! If you are an Australian high school student aged between 12 and 18, then enter our competition.

We are looking for photographs that show either Australia's amazing wildlife - its birds, snakes, animals or insects - or its dramatic landscapes - its open spaces, rainforests, rivers and beautiful cities. A photograph can show so much more about a country than a written description. So send us one which explains what Australia means to you.
You may enter the competition as many times as you wish but all entries must be accompanied by the $5 entrance fee. Any photograph which has already been a competition winner should not be entered.
To enter, go online at www.youngphotographers.au/competition and upload you r photograph using the form provided. Each entry must include you r name, date of birth, an email address and a daytime contact phone number.

If you are 15 years or over, you can use your own email address. If you prefer, you can print the form and send us your photograph by post.
The competition opens at midnight on I February. The closing date for online entry is Monday 3I March. The closing date for entries by post to be received in the Competition Office is Monday 24 March. Winners will receive the news by email or phone no later than Monday 6 April. There will be a special exhibition of photographs in City Halls between Monday 29 April and Monday 5 May.
Where a photograph entered in the competition shows a person other than yourself, you must get the necessary permission from that other person and you must send us that permission in writing. If you are one of our winners, you must agree to the organisation using your name, photograph and/ or voice for an unlimited period of time, without payment, for advertising purposes. We will not tell you each time we do so.
