All of our winners will have their portraits taken by award-winning emerging photographer Lauren Sutter of STAR + BLUEBIRD. Sutter is noted for using vintage equipment and design techniques and specializes in art photography as well as private portrait commissions.
She is also making a name for herself as an arts writer around Adelaide.
Sutter will be organizing photo sessions to take place during the week beginning August 18, so if you are one of our winners, you will be hearing from us very soon.
Each category has its own sponsor, who has the right to choose a charity for the calendar to support. Apart from major sponsors the Mars Bar and blaze, sponsors include City Gym, GayDestination, Eagle Leather and Mac Centre Norwood.
We would like to thank our sponsors for their support and encourage our readers to support the businesses that support you.
