Some background information on the competition

This fun competition is very popular with SAICE members and the general public. The competition has grown immensely since inception. Photo entries are used extensively in SAICE publications giving the submitting firms and photographers well deserved exposure. After the adjudication, the winner is announced at an appropriate SAICE event. Winning entries receive great cash prizes making the small effort of entering worthwhile. This year, AfriSam has come on board as our proud sponsor. See below for more information.
