Saint Kentigern College pupil William Guan is the winner of this year’s Lions Club of Howick Annual Calendar Photographic Competition for 2024.
“Vibrant Scenic Landscapes of East Auckland” was the theme.
This year the Lions Club of Howick received 61 entries from six schools located in east Auckland.
The brief was to select scenic places of interest located in the east Auckland area and to showcase them appropriately in A4 landscape and in vibrant colour.
The winners of the Lions Club of Howick annual Calendar Photographic Competition for 2024 were announced at a function on Sunday, October 22 in the Fencible Lounge at Howick Library.
The top 12 photos will be included in the 2024 calendar which is now on sale online via the Howick Lions Club webpage for $12 – www.howicklions.org.nz/events/howick-lions-calendar.
All the proceeds from the sale of the calendars will be dedicated to community projects.
The lead judge commented, “Standards were generally high and clearly student photographers had spent time planning their photographs and picking the right moment.
“Also obvious was the thought given to location, time of day for best dramatic effect, use of colours to give impact to the images, and the angle of the light to produce an effect suitable for the end use in a wall calendar.
“Local beach scenes and sunsets appeared to be popular subject matter”.
