tries received after this date will be entered for the following month’s competition.
4. A participant who is announced as a monthly winner may not enter the competition
for the following three editions.
5. Photos that are entered must be unique and should not portray the same theme
as photos entered for other competitions. Photos entered may not have been pub-
lished previously.
6. Entries should portray the theme ‘Farm nostalgia’.
7. Photographers must provide a caption for the photo as well as their postal address
and telephone number/s.
8. People on the photos must be identified (provide a name and surname).
9. A panel consisting of two professional photographers, a representative of
SA Graan/Grain as well as Sasol, will judge the photos each month.
10. Only emailed entries will be accepted. The photos must not be bigger than 10 MB

with a film camera, the photos must be scanned at a resolution of 300 dpi.
11. Digitally manipulated photos (that are changed digitally) will not be accepted. To
crop a photo is, however, not considered as digital manipulation.
12. SA Graan/Grain reserves the right to reject photos that are blurry and/or do not
adhere to the competition rules.
13. All entries become the property of Grain SA. The photos will be stored in a data
bank and Grain SA and Sasol may use it for future promotions, marketing and
publication purposes. By entering the competition, the entrant agrees to this and
no third party claims for copyright violation may be submitted.
14. Employees of Sasol, Grain SA and Infoworks may not enter the competition.
What makes you nostalgic? What makes you think back and miss
the farm? An old rusting planter standing under a tree? The
milk can of days long gone by? A small child feeding an orphan
lamb? Maybe the veteran tractor that is still used to plough the field?
Or maybe the old stone wall of a kraal or a farm gate? Or maybe a century-
old farmhouse?
The theme for the 2017 Grain SA/Sasol photo competition is ‘Farm nos-
talgia ’. We are really looking forward to see our readers’ interpretation of
this unique theme.
PRIZE MONEY INCREASED
Come on, subscribe: Who knows, maybe you are one of the monthly
winners who will win R1 500 in cash or maybe you will be the one walking
away with the grand prize of R15 000 at the end of the competition.
From January 2017 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 500 and the twelve finalists each comes into contention for the R15 000
(winner), R10 000 (runner-up) and a third prize of R5 000. A big thank you
to Sasol who sponsored the prize money again: R48 000 in total.

PHOTO COMPETITION
CLOSING DATES:
NOVEMBER 2017: 2 NOVEMBER
DECEMBER 2017: 14 NOVEMBER
For the very first time an individual has managed to bowl over the judges with his entries – to win all three places in this edition’s competition.
(The SA Graan/Grain photo competition is judged by an independent panel of judges.) Congratulations to Bertus Hanekom from Loxton who
shared with us some of the beauty of the Loxton district, which he captured through his lens. The winning photograph is of Sam Jooste and
Sammy Davenish herding the sheep out of the kraal at the end of their working day. This picture makes Bertus the winner of R1 500.
