Regional Development Australia Central West (RDA Central West) has announced the winners of the 2024 Central West is Best Photography Competition.
‘Location, Location, Location’ was the theme for 2024, with entrants asked to capture what makes the Central West a standout destination to live, work, and visit or the perfect movie set.
RDA Central West Director, Josh Gordon, said the competition, now in its sixth year, continues to grow and celebrate the region.
“We received so many outstanding entries across the categories this year, which made for a tough decision for our judges,” said Mr Gordon.
“Our annual photo competition is a terrific way to showcase why this region is such a great place to live and visit.”
“We would like to thank everyone who entered the competition. We are thrilled to announce this year’s prize winners and congratulate them.”
