Local MP Darren Chester recently announced the winners of the 2024 #lovegippsland calendar competition.
The three winning images include a Port Jackson shark taken by Holly Baird, a cygnet by Peter Delbridge and a stunning image of a storm over the Gippsland Lakes, taken by Jennifer Conn.
Mr Chester said there were more than 160 entries for this year’s competition and he was extremely impressed by the high quality and calibre of entries.
“This year’s theme ‘Explore Gippsland…’ showcases a multitude of incredible sights across Gippsland such as the scenery, wildlife and the iconic structures of the region,” he said.
“The images that have been chosen to be featured in the calendar are only an example of not only the incredible imagery of our region, but also the skill and capabilities of our photographers.
“Congratulations to our winners and to all the entrants for so many outstanding entries. Each year I am amazed to see the examples of how beautiful our region really is and the talent people within my region hold.”
Free copies of the #lovegippsland calendar will be distributed throughout Gippsland and will also be available from Mr Chester’s electorate offices in both Sale and Traralgon.
