Your chance to show your town through the lens

Nambour residents and visitors are being encouraged to show the town through their own eyes as part of the Nambour Through Your Lens Photographic Competition 2026.

The competition, run by I Am Nambour, Nambour Chamber of Commerce and Sunshine Coast Council, opens on May 6, with entries closing at midnight on May 31. “This is your opportunity to show us your Nambour,” organiser Rhonda Billett said. “We have various categories for people to enter. The judges will be looking for classic as well as creative photo entries that focus on Nambour’s CBD, as well as our lush green spaces, wildlife, waterfalls, waterways and more.”

Rhonda said the competition was also a chance to celebrate the local businesses supporting the prize pool.

“We have to thank our local business sponsors who have donated the amazing prize pool for our lucky winners, including Korsos Photography, The Namba Hotel, Uptown Hair Studio, LDL Boutique, Hammond Optometry, DownTown Burgers, Bad Habit Records and I Am Nambour,” she said.
