Photograph the essence of the Dolphin Coast, and win!

Enter the North Coast Courier and PrintWild ‘Spirit of the Dolphin Coast’ photography competition and stand a chance to win amazing prizes.

We are looking for photographs that capture the essence of what it means to live in our incredibly beautiful corner of the world.

This includes photographs of people, landscapes, animals and action photographs. In fact we are putting no limit on your creativity. Did you capture a precious moment between your Great Dane and your toddler, or when your son dumped a bucket of sand over his sister’s head? You can enter the sunset that took your breath away, a bird in flight or a surfer in action. Anything goes as long as it was taken on the Dolphin Coast.

Photos can be taken using any photographic equipment, including mobile phones, with a maximum of three entries per person.

First prize is a PrintWild 1.6 x 1.3 black box framed canvas worth R4,000, second prize is a PrintWild A3 silverback acrylic print worth R943 and third prize is a PrintWild A1 premium stretch canvas worth R849.

Then the public has the opportunity of voting for their favourite photograph. The Community Pick award prize is a PrintWild A3 white contemporary print worth R780. That’s not all, three people who participate in the voting stand the chance of going into a draw for three fantastic PrintWild prizes: Nine Faceblocks worth R540 or two Big 1’s worth R360 or five Faceblocks worth R300.

Entries open on December 24 and close on January 21. To enter, email your photographs to lesley@northcoastcourier.co.za or inbox the North Coast Courier via our Facebook page. Include your name, surname, contact number, residential address and a caption for the photograph stating where and when it was taken.
