GRAIN SA/SASOL PHOTO COMPETITION
What makes you nostalgic? What makes you think back and miss the farm? An old rusting planter standing under a tree? The milk can of days long gone by? A small child feeding an orphan lamb? Maybe the veteran tractor that is still used to plough the field? Or maybe the old stone wall of a kraal or a farm gate? Or maybe a century-old farmhouse?
The theme for the 2017 Grain SA/Sasol photo competition is ‘Farm nostalgia’. We are really looking forward to see our readers’ interpretation of this unique theme.
Come on, subscribe: Who knows, maybe you are one of the monthly winners who will win R1 500 in cash or maybe you will be the one walking away with the grand prize of R15 000 at the end of the competition.
From January 2017 a winner will be selected by a panel of judges each month for twelve editions. The monthly winner walks away with a cash prize of R1 500 and the twelve finalists each comes into contention for the R15 000 (winner), R10 000 (runner-up) and a third prize of R5 000. A big thank you to Sasol who sponsored the prize money again: R48 000 in total.
