This year’s Paint the Town Red was a good time all round, with tonnes of businesses and landmarks decorated in red to welcome visitors to Dark Mofo. And far out, did you get out and about – the photo competition went off like a fire cracker!
Thank you for sharing your amazing #pttr2017 shots with #hobartandbeyond and #darkmofo, you absolute legends. There were so many awesome pics that it was difficult to choose just one winner. But choose, we must…
And the winner is…
LINZIE JONES!!! Linzie’s epic action shot of the Ogoh-Ogoh being paraded through a red hot Hobart towards its fiery cremation has taken out the top prize:
- One night accommodation at the Grand Chancellor Hobart in a double/twin share (subject to availability)
- 2 x reserve tickets to any Tasmanian Symphony Orchestra performance (subject to availability)
On ya, Linzie! Enjoy!
But wait, there’s more! The runner up is…
Adeline Helg! Adeline’s beautiful capture of the Tasman Bridge looking very regal in red has taken out the runner up prize. Those reflections lighting the dark, calm river are so stunning! Adeline, you’ll live it up on the river you’ve photographed so wonderfully – there are two Posh Pit ferry transfers to Mona coming your way.
There’s still more! We’d like to make some honourable mentions…
We told you it was hard to choose! Here are a few of the wonderful shots we’d like to give honourable mentions to (in no particular order). There are no prizes for these ones unfortunately, apart from our unwavering adoration and appreciation!
A huge thank you to everyone who entered the photo competition – check out all the amazing entries shared with #pttr2017 on Instagram. It was lit, fam. Till next year!
