Council has partnered with Vision 2020 Australia and is holding a photography competition to promote awareness of sight and eye care.

“We have spectacular scenery throughout our region and it would truly be a shame for some of our residents and locals to miss these sights due to poor eye health care,” council director community Kaye Thomson said.

“We're asking the community to send through images of what is important to them, that they wouldn’t want to miss the joy of seeing ever again.

“By doing so we hope this encourages members of our community to have regular health checks and keep their vision strong.”

To participate in the My Favourite Sight competition take a photo of your favourite view — it could be a garden, food, sport, pet or family member — post it to social media with #MyFavouriteSight and make sure it is public.

The competition closes this Sunday, October 13.

Entries will go into the draw to win a $250 Coles Myer gift card. The best 20 images will be displayed in a public exhibition at Riverlinks Eastbank foyer, opening on October 18.
