Cowra Local Wins Central West Is Best Photography Competition

Cowra local Poppy Starr has taken out the Regional Development Australia Central West’s 2022 Central West is Best Photography Competition junior division.

‘Central West unmasked’ was the theme for 2022, with applicants encouraged to capture the true nature of our region and unveil hidden gems.

Poppy’s incredible image, titled ‘Into The Light’, features the sun shining through the clouds and beaming onto a paddock with roaming sheep, highlighting the sheep below, and showing the light reflecting from the clouds.

RDA Central West Director, Wayne Sunderland, said the competition, now in its fourth year, continues to grow and celebrate the region. “We received so many outstanding entries across the Junior and Open categories this year, which really made for a tough decision for our judges,” said Mr. Sunderland.

“This year we wanted to focus on why the Central West is a great place to live and visit, through images of people, places and events - after all, it’s home to 180,000 people and is made up of some terrific towns and villages and beautiful landscapes.

“We would like to extend our thanks to everyone who entered the competition – we are thrilled to announce this year’s prize winners and congratulate everyone who entered to make the 2022 competition the best year yet.”
