It’s that time of year again! The Brakpan Herald is preparing its last issue of 2025, and we’re searching for a festive photograph to brighten up the front page.

This year, the photographer of the winning entry won’t just enjoy the honour of having their image showcased – they’ll also walk away with a R1 000 gift voucher.

The generous prize has been sponsored by Sherwood Pick n Pay. This annual competition is easy to enter. Simply take a photograph with a Christmas theme.

There should be at least one person in the photograph and it’s important to note that digital editing is not allowed.

The following information is required when entering a photograph (entries with excluded information will not be accepted):
• Name, surname and age of each person in the photo.
• A short description of where and when the photo was taken.
• Name, surname and contact number of the photographer.

Photographs must not be more than a month old (last year’s Christmas photos won’t be accepted).
• Photographs smaller than 1MB will not be considered.
• Only Brakpan residents can enter.

Photos can be emailed as separate jpeg attachments to brakpanherald@caxton.co.za. The closing date is December 11 at 09:00. The prize cannot be redeemed for cash.
