Thank you to everyone who entered this year’s Lutheran Media Calendar Photo Competition. We received more than 80 entries which confirmed that we have some amazing photographers in our Lutheran Church of Australia and New Zealand.
With three categories to enter this time – Animal, Nature and Landscape – there were three times as many winners as in previous years.
In the Animal category, the winner was Stephen Jericho with ‘The Cow-nsellors’, which is on the cover of our 2023 calendar. Placegetters were Marissa Hartwig’s photo of a parrot and John Neldner’s picture of budgies.
In Nature, Stuart Kleinig came out on top with a shell scene, while talented mother-and-daughter entrants Amy Dahlenburg and Charlotte Dahlenburg were the placegetters with a frosty plant and sunflowers respectively.
And in the Landscape category, Amy Dahlenburg won with a beach rainbow scene, while Julie Oster and Genevieve Clark were the placegetters with images of an old cart and another beach scene respectively.
SHARING TALENTS SHARES HOPE TOO
Thanks to everyone who shared their amazing talents to encourage with hope the people who receive the Lutheran Media Calendar. With Bible verses on each page spread, along with the stunning photography, the calendars inspire many people, as the feedback we receive shows. As Elisabeth told us: ‘Thank you very much for recently sending me a calendar to give to my brother. When I told him I read my Bible every day, he was really interested which was why I decided to introduce him to your great calendar. Thank you.’
Another recipient, Nedrum, said: ‘I’m not religious at all, but have just ordered this for my religious mother who I think will really like it. Thanks for sharing!’
