FUJIFILM SHOWCASE 2020

GRAND PRIZE WINNER

The 2021 competition kicks off with this issue, and we announce the grand prize winner for 2020 who collects a Fujifilm X-T30 kit. With each round, there’s also the chance to win a subscription to Australian Camera magazine. Enter by sending us digital files on either a DVD or USB drive, or enter online by sending images to camera@futurenet.com.

Lockdowns and restricted travel doesn’t appear to have curbed the creative juices of our readers because the standard of entries to the 2020 Fujifilm Showcase were the highest we’ve seen for a long time. The year’s 12 finalists all produced very strong images and the judges had a hard time coming to a decision, but the panel did all finally agree there was a clear winner. Congratulations to Graeme O’Rourke who wowed the judges this time around after collecting the Highly Commended award in Round 5. Graeme’s image worked on many levels, including composition and being in the right place at just the right time (check out the sheep). The location is the Flinders Ranges in South Australia, and the abandoned farmhouse is famous for being featured on the cover of the Midnight Oil album Diesel And Dust (then photographed by acclaimed landscape photographer Ken Duncan). Graeme used a Canon EOS 7D Mark II fitted with a Sigma 18-200mm f/3.56.3 DC OS HSM zoom. However, he’ll soon also be the owner of an X-T30 mirrorless camera fitted with a Super EBC Fujinon XF 18-55mm f/2.8-4.0 R LM OIS zoom lens and valued at $2,199. Thanks once again to Fujifilm Australia for its ongoing support of the Showcase competition.
