Dust, dirt, or sand …. how to enter and what you can win!

The Grey Nomads photo competition will be conducted on the forum pages of the www.thegreynomads.com.au website.

Theme: The theme of the competition is: ‘dust, dirt or sand’. The judge will be looking for shots that capture the spirit of the grey nomad lifestyle. Perhaps it’s a picture of a dusty-faced fossicker unearthing a giant gemstone, or a rugged rodeo rider taking a tumble, or just the shifting sands of the Simpson.  Perhaps it’s your van negotiating a treacherous track, or covered in red dust after an outback odyssey, or finally getting a well-deserved clean at a car wash. Perhaps it’s an epic dust storm, or a spectacular beach, or an endless dirt road.
As usual, we expect the boundaries of the category to be challenged, so use your imaginations.

When you post your entry, please feel free to tell the story behind the picture and also to comment on each other’s entries. There are three great prizes to be won but fun, friendship – and maybe a bit of frivolity – are the real aims of the game. Please enjoy.

Entry dates: April 26 – May 31, 2013.  Entries accepted April 26 – midnight AEST on May 31.  Winners announced June 14, 2013. The top 10 photos – as judged by Steve Jones, Editor at Large, Travel Weekly – will be announced on June 7.
