Photo competition

We’d love to see how and where you are getting active. Simply send us a photo of you being active, the view where you are being active or anything else you feel depicts how you are staying active.

The winning photo will be displayed across our facilities and the winner will also receive free Sport & Exercise gym membership (or a refund for their current Sport & Exercise gym membership).

The winner will be selected by a group of Sport & Exercise staff for originality, interpretation and visual impact.
