Thís is
Agriculture in full colour
What do you see when you think of ‘agriculture in full colour’? Bright
yellow canola or sunflower crops in full flower? Young wheat or maize
plants emerging bright green from the soil? A pink and orange sunset on
the farm? White and black cattle drinking water at the dam? Boet with his
red shirt driving the tractor? Or maybe Sis with her purple dress playing in
the trailer full of maize? Come on, surprise us with your interpretation
of this year’s theme for the photo competition, which is ‘Agriculture in
full colour’.
WHAT CAN YOU WIN?
From January 2016 a winner will be selected by a panel of judges each
month for twelve editions. The monthly winner walks away with a cash
prize of R1 000 and the twelve finalists each comes into contention for the
R10 000 (winner), R7 000 (runner-up) and a third prize of R3 000. A big
thank you to Sasol who sponsored the prize money again.
