Last year's winning entry from Rosa Robins

The Department of Education and Training is celebrating 2009 as the Year of Creativity (YOC), recognising creativity as an essential 21st century skill.

To help celebrate, the Queensland Performing Arts Centre (QPAC) is holding a funny photo competition, Re-Framed, taking place in the lead-up to In Stitches - Laughter Stimulus Package from 24 June to 4 July 2009.

Following the success of the 2008 Framed funny photo competition, Re-Framed has returned with prizes worth a total of $2000.

Divided into two categories, the secondary school category is open for students in Years 8 to 12, and the open category for all ages.

All entrants need is a digital photo combining creativity and humour, and access to the internet. Images should be JPEG files, no more than 1MB, at 300dpi resolution.

The open category prize money is $1000, and the secondary schools category prize is $500 for the entrant(s) and $500 for their school. School students can enter as individuals or as a group. Re-Framed entries close at midnight on 23 June 2009.

See the In Stitches website for more details, and the Year of Creativity website for other YOC events.
