Toowoomba Sister City – Takatsuki Exhibition

Hi All,
We have been asked to submit 12 images for a combined exhibition for Toowoomba Sister City – Takatsuki in Japan.

The exhibition is being run online this year and should go live early February.

The theme is: “What Makes our City / Region Special”

Could we please ask members upload images onto our MyPhotoClub site which fits this category?
Images must have been taken from within the Toowoomba Regional Councils boundaries, there is no restriction on “when” the images were taken.

This will close on the 21st of January 23:59.
To upload images head here: https://toowoomba.myphotoclub.com.au/enter-a-collection/?collection_id=3095

We will also consult the first Trans Tasman competition we had with Howick if we do not receive enough images.
