The winners of the Eurobodalla – South Coast Monopoly Photo Competition have officially been announced, celebrating the region’s natural beauty, community spirit, and unique local character.

The competition invited locals and visitors to capture “what Eurobodalla means to you,” with winning images set to feature in the upcoming Eurobodalla – South Coast Monopoly Edition board game.

The response from the community was outstanding, with a diverse range of entries showcasing everything from coastal landscapes and wildlife to moments of everyday life across the region.

“It’s been incredible to see Eurobodalla through the eyes of the community,” said Ivan Slavich, CEO. “The quality and creativity of the entries made judging no easy task. Each photo tells a story, and together they paint a powerful picture of what makes this region so special.”
