The 25th Western District National Photographic Exhibition opens at Charles Sturt University (CSU) in Dubbo on Thursday 12 July with a display of 100 images by photographers from around Australia. The Head of Campus at CSU in Dubbo, Dr Beverley Moriarty said, “Charles Sturt University is delighted to again host this vibrant national exhibition approved by the Australian Photographic Society”. The exhibition is coordinated by Dubbo’s Mrs Lorna White from the Western Districts National Committee. “This is one of 17 approved national exhibitions held around Australia each year, open to all photographers in Australia who choose to compete to be exhibited,” Ms White said. “There are images from most states in Australia in five categories; Colour, Monochrome, Nature, People, and Photojournalism. Photographs in each category are assessed by three judges, and the selected images are exhibited with first, second and merits awarded. Some local photographers with works on display include Geoff Wheeler, Brian White, and Margaret Pollard.”
