Katie Rose in the frame

That scenic photo of Noosa’s teeming wildlife or maybe the snap of a local landscape you love to show your friends could win you one of some great prizes in a contest currently underway at Katie Rose Cottage Hospice Op Shop at Tewantin.

Manager Tina Grigson said the Op Shop received a generous donation of photo frames and entrants were invited to visit the shop pay an entry fee of $5, collect a frame and fill it with a creative representation of the environment.

Noted wildlife photographer, author and former Mayor of Noosa Shire, Tony Wellington, will then judge the completed frames which have to be at the Op Shop in Poinciana Avenue by Monday 20 November.

There are three categories, under 12 years, under 18 years and over 18, and more than $500 worth of prizes had been donated by the community.

“They include a three-course chef special luncheon at Noosa River Kitchen, family day pass on the Mary River Rattler, family pass to the Tree Top Challenge, the Ginger Factory Play, Taste and Discover bundle, family day pass to Maleny Botanic Gardens and Bird World,” tina said.
