David Coleman, the Federal Member for Banks, recently held the Banks Community Photography Exhibition to display the many submissions entered into the Banks Photography Competition for 2023. Entrants submit a photograph from within the Banks electorate.
The event was held on September 20 at St George Arts and Crafts Centre in Penshurst. More than 200 people attended the Exhibition.
The competition was judged by representatives from St George Arts and Crafts, St George Art Society, and Oatley 101 Artists.
Nikki Cheung of Riverwood was named as the winner of the competition with the image, ‘White-Faced Heron at Lime Kiln Bay, as the tide turns.’
More than 30 other local residents were also recognised for their photography skills.
“It was great to present an award to the winner, Nikki Leung, for the incredible shot taken at Lime Kiln Bay,” Mr Coleman said.
“Congratulations to all the entrants into the Banks Photography Competition this year. The event has become an important part of our local calendar and it was fantastic to see so many people at the Exhibition,” Mr Coleman said.
