To celebrate the commencement of the border survey 100 years ago, the Centenary of Canberra Show Us Your Limits competition is seeking photographs, short films, and digital media that celebrate the gruelling border survey and how we now interact with the border regions.  Why not take a photo of the event and enter the competition which closes at 4pm on 31 August 2010.
