Global Village Sunshine Coast

Entries will close on Tuesday for the GV Photo Competition!

Make sure you submit any photos that you have before then for your chance to win the grand prize. Remember, there are also prizes to win for each category at each campus.

It’s a little bit late, but here is a short video of the “So you think you can..” Competition!

Congratulations to everyone who was involved!

We are getting some great shots in for the competition, as you can see from the random selection below. If you haven’t entered yet, or would like to submit MORE photos, it’s not too late. Get out there with your cameras and get creative!

Here are some questions that a lot of students ask when we have run the GV Photo Competition in the past.

Entry by Jun Yong Eom from GV Noosa

What resolution do the photos need to be?
- The photos need to be in high resolution. Preferrably the files need to be between 1.5MB and 3.5MB.

How many photos can I send in?
- You can submit as many photos as you like.

What if I finish my course before the end of the competition? Can I still enter?
- If you are going to finish your course before the end of the competition, you can absolutely submit photos. If you are the winner, you will still receive your prize.

Is it alright if I send the photos through compressed in a .zip file?
- No problem at all. If you are sending multiple photos, it is a perfect way to submit them in one email.

What file type should I send them as?
- The best file format is .jpg

What in my photo will make me win?
- The photo that will win, will stand out from the rest. It must show creativity, good use of lighting and capture the meaning of the category it is submitted in.

When do I know if I won?
- The winner will be notified on the blog after the competition has finished.

What do I win?
- The grand prize winner will receive a return flight to Sydney. There are also smaller prizes for the winners of each category.

Looking for something to do over the Queen’s Birthday long weekend? Why not check out one of Australia’s most popular Indigenous music and arts festivals…

The Dreaming is a festival which showcases Indigenous arts from Australia and around the world. As well as music and dance performances, there will be ceremonies, rituals, camp-fire stories, workshops and lots of food and drink stalls.

The festival takes place in Woodford, which is in the beautiful hinterland half-way between Noosa and Brisbane, and you can find out all you need to know at:

The GV Photo Competition is back!

We know there is a lot of great talent out there and a lot of people record their time at GV and this competition is a great way to be able to share this with the world. All you have to do is take some photos that are within the 3 categories for the competition: My School, My life in Caloundra and My Part-Time Job.

You can submit them by emailing them to gvphoto2009@gmail.com with your name, nationality, school and category name as the caption. It’s that easy! The overall winner will receive a free return flight to Sydney!

We won it last year, so come on GV Caloundra, let’s keep the tradition alive!
