The awards are held over 4 days and the prints are judged and scored by a panel of 5 master photographers from around Australia….all the awarded prints have been on exhibition at the wine centre and the CPA will be on exhibition at the Light Gallery during SALA for August.
Leanne was awarded her first Gold award for Elements –‘ Water ’ in the Contemporary Art Category, and went along to also achieve success with individual awards with 5 Silver Distinctions and 5 Silver Awards.
