Australia Cup Competition
Hi Members, I have again extended the Australia Cup competition on website as we are still looking for more member’s images to represent HBPC this year.
Theme is: THIS IS AUSTRALIA and entries are now closing this Sunday 7/4/24. “This is Australia” was the theme from our February competition, so would be great to see more of your images to put our best work forward. Member’s may submit 3 images online which will then be judged by a 3 person panel. With current club membership numbers, HBPC can then include a maximum of 2 images per person for Australia Cup. Best of luck, look forward to more beautiful images!
Definition for THIS IS AUSTRALIA: Any image that shows a flavour of life in Australia including landscapes, people, events and places including architecture, birds and animals. Images may be taken in any of Australia’s territories. Entries must be a single image as captured by the camera; no composites allowed.
All entered Images & individual awards are eligible to count as national acceptances towards APS Honours LAPS, AAPS.

Easter Photo OPs
I just got home from a walk and found that there is a sailing regatta on this weekend. It is the Scarness Boat Club area. Kids sail close to the shore (for those like me without zoom lenses) and adults are about 1km out, (for those with big zoom lenses). Also noticed some Brilliant Mushrooms/Toadstools on a vacant block across from the Newly renovated Holiday Park. I plan to go back later in the day in the that, hope no one has knocked them over. Does any one else know of anything?

Dear PSQ affiliated camera clubs
This is a final reminder to all camera clubs that the 2024 Salon of Excellence competition entries close within two weeks on Sunday March 17. Club secretaries could you please circulate this reminder to all club members.

Subjects are: Open Colour, Open Mono, People (Colour or Mono), Nature (Colour), Social Documentary (Mono) and Creative (Colour or Mono).
There are both Print and Digital competitions, with separate competitions for A Grade and Non A Grade competitors.
This is a wonderful opportunity for all members to participate in a Queensland-wide competition and to test your skills beyond your own club competition. We would especially encourage Non A Grade members to take advantage of the opportunity.
While this is primarily an individual competition, it is also a chance for clubs to compete against one another, with trophy awarded to clubs with the highest overall points, the highest average points (to encourage smaller clubs) and most number of Acceptances.
We look forward to continuing support for this longstanding competition.
Kind regards
