Voting has now opened in our Louts and Larrikins photo competition.
Readers have until 5pm January 23 to vote for their favourite out of our eight finalists – all displayed in the gallery above.
More than 100 entries were received during the competition, making it a very hard for the judges to pick just eight finalists.
The Land’s Louts and Larrikins Photographic and Video Competition, looked at celebrating the bush larrikin in us all.
The type of character to enjoy life in the country, where fun comes not from theme parks, game consoles or trendy hangouts, but from the people around you, the wide open spaces and the ability to simply have a laugh with your mates.
The finalists are in with a chance to win in a share of the prize pool, which totals $5045 in value and includes a 35T Timberwolf log splitter from BiggerBoyzToyz, an Optus Satellite Satsleeve, and an oilskin and single swag from Goodwoods Saddlery.
Best photo, to be judged by our readers from the eight finalists, wins the 35T Timberwolf, valued at $3949, with a 35-tonne vertical or horizontal splitting capacity. The towable log splitter is equipped with a 6.7 kilowatt Subaru EX 270 engine, which makes light work of tougher logs. It also features a 16 second total ram cycle, optional jockey wheel, two-year domestic or 90-day commercial warranty, 50 millimetre towing coupler, 620mm splitting length, three-point control operating lever, automatic returning wedge, built-in log dislodger, heavy duty log trays and tyres, one-handed operation, two-stage hydraulic pump and is constructed around a full-beam design.
Second-placed photo, also judged by our readers, will win a single swag to the value of $139.95.
Best video, judged by The Land and to be announced on January 26, wins the Optus Satsleeve, valued at $888. This transforms any compatible smartphone into a satellite phone. It is useful in areas where 3G/4G mobile coverage is doesn’t exist, according to Optus Satellite, and allows access to voice, SMS and data, with Australia-wide coverage where there is line-of-sight to the satellite.
The Land will also give away an oilskin to the value of $69.95 as a reader prize, drawn from the reader voting coupon, available in The Land, issue January 12, 2017. Online voters are not eligible for this prize.
All winners will be announced on January 26.
