The 2024 MCCG Photo Competition was a huge success. Thank you to all the photographers for your entries and congratulations to all the winners.
The photo competition could not run without the fabulous volunteers who generously give up their time each year. A massive thank you to the photo competition organising committee lead by Rebecca Bain with support from Robyn Frost, Bostjan Kobe, Janine Nicklin, Bruce Siemon and Geoff Lawrence and to all the volunteers who also support during the week.
Enjoy the winning entries in each category.
