Boroondara Photograph Competition 2021 winners
'My Boroondara' was the theme of this year's Boroondara Photograph Competition and there was a special category 'My 2020 experience' to highlight what a different year we have just had.
The competition judges, made individual comments on all the winning entries, however there were some common themes showing through. 'Light', 'community' and 'wonder' were recurring descriptions of the images that represented 'My Boroondara'.
This year’s Best in Competition has been awarded to Nina Dermawan for A Weekday Morning on Glenferrie Road which the judges said 'Captures the hustle and bustle of Glenferrie Rd nicely. The light is beautiful and the image is well composed'.
