The competition is open to novice and professional photographers alike – in fact anyone with a passion for photography and homegrown treasures can enter. Craig Stevens, owner of Photo Freedom, says: “This is a chance to showcase your homegrown pride; be it a landscape, wildlife, people or food that speaks to the heart of being a South African. We are looking for authentically South African stories told in pictures. Tell us what makes you proud.”
Genuineness is critical. Photographers must only submit photos that they themselves have taken. These can be shot with a cell phone, digital compact camera or DSLR up to or equivalent of a Canon 800D. Photographers can submit up to five photos to the competition. Another stipulation is that the photos must have been shot in 2018.
There are three competition categories: Cell phone category to stand a chance to win the Canon G7X MKII camera; the Compact digital camera category to win a Canon EOS M5 body with an EFM 15-45MM lens, and the DSLR category, with the Canon EOS 80D body with an EFS 18-135MM IS USM lens being the grand prize.
