I think it's testament to the absolute Lord of the Rings fan that I am (yikes) that I first read this competition to be: "The Rosie Cotton Award..." - Rosie Cotton being the hobbit lass whom Samwise Gamgee wooed and married upon his return from the adventures in Mordor.

On to the competition:
The Olive Cotton Award is an annual award for excellence in photographic portraiture offering a $10,000 major prize, funded by Cotton’s family in memory of “one of Australia's leading twentieth century photographers” (Art Gallery NSW, 2000). In 2005 the Friends of the Tweed River Art Gallery have sponsored additional Directors Choice awards to the value of $2,000. All awards are acquisitive with the winning works becoming part of the Tweed River Art Gallery’s “Australian Portrait Collection”.
The exhibition is selected from entrants across Australia and is a significant opportunity for both emerging and established photographers. Photographer Sally McInerney, daughter of Olive Cotton, is the inaugural judge.Entries will close at 5pm on Friday 5th August 2005.
Interested artists should contact the Gallery to obtain an entry form and conditions.Phone 02 6670 2790 or email tweedart@tweed.nsw.gov.auThe exhibition of finalists will be shown at the Tweed River Art Gallery from Thursday 13 October to Sunday 13 November 2005.
