Christmas competition

Competing interests: MJA Christmas Competition

MJA 2001; 175: 574

The entries for this year's Christmas competition arrived in a slow trickle, leaving us wondering whether many of our readers may have had their creative powers sapped by recent world events or the forced conformity of corporatised practice. Quality, however, is what we are about, and this was not lacking. Fresh from the excitement of the recent federal election, MJA editorial staff were in the mood for a bit of a poll, especially when we discovered that the contenders were much more lively and altogether better looking than their political compatriots. Barnabas Bako's "Seahorse" won the Snapshot category with a healthy majority. However, the Vignette category will remain a hung parliament, with Steven Doherty's "So this is Christmas" and James Dickinson's "Conference baggery" running head to head, even after the distribution of preferences. All three winners will receive a refreshing prize from the MJA's famous cellar. As the highs and lows of the coming year unfold remember that we at the MJA would love you to put finger to keyboard to share your quirky images and reflections with us. Contributions for next year's Christmas competition will be gladly received all year round.
