Enter the CEQ sponsored ‘Ailan Life’ photo competition for your chance to win a $150 voucher to spend at your local IBIS store, Mitre 10, Col Jones or Mona’s Bazaar.
Not-for-profit remote store operator Community Enterprise Queensland (CEQ) has relaunched the ‘Ailan Life’ photo competition in partnership with Torres News.
The competition gives the opportunity for Far North Queenslanders to share their favourite ‘Ailan View’ of life in the region, and showcase the talent of local photographers, with one picture being presented in the Torres News each week.
Every month, CEQ will select their favourite ‘Ailan View’ entry, with the lucky winner receiving a $150 voucher to use at their local IBIS store, Mitre 10, Col Jones or Mona’s Bazaar.
The winning photo each month will also be featured in one of CEQ’s fortnightly promotional posters, Digital Notice Boards, CEQ website IBIS promotion page and social media channels as a bonus to showcase the photographer’s winning shot.
To enter the competition, simply send a photo of your ‘Ailan View’ of life in the Far North, along with your name and a 25-word description to ads@torres.news
The competition begins in January 2023, and will run for 12 months, giving plenty of opportunities to win the coveted $150 voucher each month.
As the festive season fast approaches, now is the perfect time to start taking photos of your holiday ‘Ailan Views’.
CEQ General Manager Enterprise & Stakeholder Engagement Fred Gela said that the competition is a great way to celebrate all that the region has to offer.
“Community Enterprise Queensland is proud to partner with Torres News with the relaunching of the ‘Ailan Life’ photo competition,” said Mr Gela.
