This year's Judge was Stephen Wright from Glenn Innes, who was impressed with the high calibre of submissions.

"The photographers were taking a lot more risk with their photographs than usual", he said.

Many took risks with lighting and shadows, which created quite the dynamic range.

There is still one category for the Photographers to win, and that's the People's Choice award.

"Everyone is encouraged to come and have a look at these amazing photographs and choose their favourite," Inverell Art Gallery's Jane Peterkin said.

"Congratulations to all the entrants and winners of the Inverell Photography Prize 2021."

In the People and Portrait section, Mandy Stodart from Delungra took first place followed by Sue Retchlag from Barraba.

The Landscape winners were Nathan Armstrong from East Hill and Katrina Morris from Inverell.

Queens of the Animal World section were Sandra Mercer, first, and second by another Barraba local, Paula McIver.
