Theme: Sport, Hobbies and Fun Activities

What do many people do on a Saturday?  They take up an opportunity to participate in a sport or activity or just get out and about and have fun.  Here is a broad theme that provides all participants with the opportunity to capture a wide range of images from action in sport to inside board games. Images can capture individuals or groups, teams or solo participants.  The sport, hobby or fun activity can be formal such as a local team sporting event, or informal such as a group of people playing in the local park.  The key focus should reflect the emotional aspect such as the joy, the fun, the focus, the intensity or the energy of participating in a sport, hobby or fun activity.

Images must be captured on the day and metadata must be included.

Sections

  1. Individual Walkers: An individual participant must  submit 4 images. (Direct to the APS website)
  2.  Team: A team must submit 12 images. MRPS will be selecting our 12 images from the selection uploaded on this page and will then submit to APS as a group entry
