CAMERA SNAPS.

I A HOLIDAY COMPETITION. j I MEMORIES OF RESTFUL DATS. ! PRIZES OFFERED BY "STAR." j J The camera is undoubtedly the friend 'of the holiday maker. Impressions of . I visits to all parts of the province are : |being retained in a picture shape by • hundreds of Aucklanders, -who are enjoy- . jing the break in the work of the year. . I The "Star's" photographic competition jhas proved that, for since it was pro- ! :moted a few weeks ago some five hun- . idred camera owners have contributed >to it. Pleasant memories of restful . iliours away from the cares of the or- < jdinary routine of the year can be rei vived by the person who can use a 'camera. One's friends can be taken to that atmosphere by studying these | photographic records, but the "Star's" timely competition has provided a much wider circle for that enjoyment. Its readers throughout the province ar® 'comparing the results of the amateurs' ■ .work, and seeing again with a renewed : interest the impressions formed when i the shutter was restlessly snappng here, 'there and everywhere. j The Auckland "Star ? s weekly competition will continue throughout the holiday period, and substantial inducement is offered for the amateur to emu--0 jlate the work of his colleagues. Each e Tuesday the week's contributions are 0 (judged, and the three prizes are offered j for the picture which in, the opinion of .Ithe illustrations editor give the best it impressions of a holiday incident or n i scene.

It may be usciu! to remind camera artists, particularly those using the smaller camcras, not to trv and include a wealth or subject on their restricted film. Sharpness is essential. In addition to the prize-wjnninj 'pictures a limited number of others, with more than usual merit, will be published. ir i The prizes are:— '?' >r| First Prize £1 ie ( Second Prize 10/ e Third Prize 5/ v ill Post the prints, not negatives, ade'dressed to the "Illustrations Editor," [lland endorsed "Holiday Competition." i Ko responsibility will be taken for .. prints, but where stamps are enclosed e every care will be taken ;n posting back > their photos to competitors. 1: The fifth competition closes to night, 3;and entries for the sixth will be le-
