What a month in the Best Photo Competition! Dozens of stunning pics were sent in during April, and we welcomed a number of new entrants into the comp.

But it's a competition after all, and now we're down to the business end.

The judges have compiled their top ten photos for the month, and while they argue over which three should rise above the rest, you can have your say in the Most Popular Photo Competition.

Simply go to the Best Photo Competition page, check out the pics that have made the shortlist, and vote away!

Winners will be announced on Friday 11 May so get cracking.

Prizes include a $100 gift voucher PLUS $50 cash thanks to Garricks Camera House, a stunning stretched canvas valued at $75 from Perrin Clarke at Imagebank Australia, an underwater camera worth $40 thanks to Coles Supermarket Port Douglas, and we welcome new sponsor The Court House Hotel who is giving the Most Popular Photo winner a $50 bar and bistro voucher. Welcome aboard!

May entries are now being accepted so join the growing list of people who are taking part in the region's Best Photo Competition.
