The Whanganui Salon 2021 – Humanity and Earth
​

 Building on a rich legacy and a successful relaunch in 2019
 
The Whanganui Salon, a pre-eminent national salon of photography from 1953 to 1992, was re-established on the national photography calendar in 2019 after a gap of 27 years. With a thematic approach (Humanity and Earth) that distinguishes the Whanganui Salon from other national salons and over 400 digital entries in 2019, it was a great rebirth which we are now building upon.
​
Our vision is
To establish The Whanganui Salon as a biennial national salon of distinction for digital images focused on meaningful photography that shines a light on issues of national and global significance.
 
For the Whanganui Salon 2021
Our overarching theme will remain
Humanity and Earth - demonstrating the impact of human beings on, and their interaction with, our planet

In 2021 the Salon will be for images in three categories:
​

           Humanity and the Natural World (relationships between humans and all aspects of the natural world)
           The Works of Humankind (significant structures or human activities in the context of the environment)
            Living in a Changing World (the human experience in the 2020s)
 
Indicative timing in 2021 is:

Entries open 27 July and close 24 August
Judging in September with results presented at the opening event of the Whanganui Camera Club annual exhibition on 22 October.

The Salon will be open to all New Zealand photographers with a maximum of twelve digital entries each (four per category). 
Images will be assessed by three category judges (see below) to determine general Acceptances and the selection of a Category winner and two Runners Up, plus any number of Judge's Commendations for each category. The three judges will then agree the overall Salon winner.

The overall Salon winner will receive the Vonnie Cave Gold medal.  Vonnie Cave (FPSNZ, Hon FPSNZ, MNZM) is a life member and past patron of the Whanganui Camera Club with a distinguished career in photography, having served as both president and patron of the Photographic Society of New Zealand. This medal recognises Vonnie’s considerable contribution to both Whanganui and New Zealand photography.

We are delighted to have support from our enthusiastic sponsors Progear Photographic, Wellington Photographic Supplies and Print Art who are generously providing the following prizes for our Salon and Category Winners:


Salon Winner's prize - $1000 gift voucher redeemable at Progear Photographic

Category Winners' prizes -
