Photo competition ‘Spirit of the Country’


Spirit of the Country photo competition 2012

Every year we run 2 photo competitions for our volunteers. One entitled ‘Your Turn Next’ aimed at seeing our volunteers in action and the other entitled ‘Spirit of the Country’ where volunteers submit entries aimed at summing up the essence if their host countries in a photo. This year we have had some fantastic entries and choosing between them has been really difficult.

However the top 12 entries from each category have been selected by our panel of judges and the winner in each category will be put to the vote.

Each category will be live throughout November for users to vote on their favorite. To cast your vote, simply view the entries below by clicking on the ‘next’ button. Then select your favorite from the list below to cast your vote. And don’t forget to vote in the ‘Your Turn Next‘ category too.

Everyone has their bad days and Ngtali one of my students decided to sit down by the lake and ponder on hers! I think this captures her soul searching moment beautifully :D

I took this photo on the second level of a series of waterfalls a few minutes away from my house. A group of the local children showed me the way to climb up to this amazing pool.

On a beautiful august midday, on one of my days off I went to 'Leaders Rock', which overlooked Glinz Lake. I had my poetry book and ukulele at hand, and the Lake seems to peaceful and the trees so green. So, I happened to have my camera in my pack and took a few snaps of these scenery which overlooked a section of the lake with my ukulele and poetry book, two things I hold close to heart, alongside the 3rd thing I hold close to heart...Camp Thunderbird.
