At GrainCorp, we love seeing growers and communities celebrate what is arguably the most eventful time of year – harvest.

From golden hour atop a header, to the littlest harvest helpers joining in for the first time, we want you to show us your favourite parts of harvest.

GrainCorp’s 2024 Harvest Photo Competition launches today, with prizes of up to $850 for the most creative and compelling photos shared.

We look forward to seeing the many entries that showcase what harvest means to you.
