The talented prize winners were not the only ones to benefit from the competition. Fleurieu Peninsula Tourism and the South Australian Whale Centre will, as part of the terms of entry, be able to utilise the images to promote whale watching and wildlife within the region.

The South Australian Museum’s Mammal Department is also a ‘winner’. They will be provided with many images of whales (made up from additional photographs collected by the entrants throughout the season).

The Museum will eventually use the images to identify and name each individual whale, recording their visitation and calving rate each season.

Awards were presented to the winners on 9th December, 2010.
