The final round of judging will take place at the end of November, with the winners announced early December.
1st prize : A Nikon D5000 DSLR camera
2nd prize: A photography course from The Centre for Continuing Education, up to a value of $200*
3rd prize: A selection of photography books from the University Book Store, worth $100
Compact and powerful, the 12.3 mega pixel D5000 has it all, including an innovative vari-angle LCD screen that can be swiveled to shoot from interesting new perspectives. Combined with an HD movie function, 19 shooting modes and live view, the D5000 makes it easy to capture great quality photos.

*If the 2nd prize winner is unable to attend the course in Auckland, an alternative prize of equal monetary value will be selected by the Alumni Office.
The theme of the competition is ‘the expression of who we are’. We’re encouraging a broad interpretation. For example, the subject of your photograph could tackle issues of national identity or could be as simple as an image that tells us what makes your family unique.

We’re pleased to have the support of three esteemed University photographers, who will judge the competition.
- Godfrey Boehnke, University Photographer
- Dr Noel Dawson, Vice-President of Eden-Roskill Camera Club, former Associate Dean (Postgraduate), Faculty of Medical and Health Sciences
- Iain MacDonald, Photographer at School of Biological Sciences, Faculty of Science
Each judge will individually score the shortlisted entries. They will then meet to discuss those with the highest scores and pick the winners.
