GREAT photographs of stock agents, the land and livestock are being sought for the 2021 Australian Livestock and Property Agents Association’s 2021 photography competition.

The 2021 ALPA photography competition is focussing on the three categories of stock, station and the agent to capture the amazing experiences and landscapes and the many and varied aspects of the profession.

ALPA said photos for the competition must reflect the life of an agent. It might be taken across the paddocks, at saleyards, a shearing shed, sheep or cattle yards, mustering, drafting pens, transporting, the main street, a wool sale, as long as it is agency-related, the association said.
