MACKAY photographers are invited to take part in a philanthropic photographic challenge where they could win $500 for themselves and $2000 for their favourite charity.

Queensland Community Foundation general manager Tara Castle said this year’s theme was Focus on Kindness.

“It’s been a rough start to 2020 and many charities need our support more than ever, however not everyone is in a position to provide financial support at this time, so the QCF Photo Challenge is an easy way to raise money for your favourite Queensland charity,” Ms Castle said.

“We hope that by sharing the entries from across our beautiful state we will help lift spirits and remind people that kindness and philanthropy is alive and well in Queensland.”
