Our next round of entries for this quarter's competition have arrived, and we can't express how difficult it was to pick a top selfie for the month!!

We are energised by your creative (and competitive!) spirit, and we're so pleased to be able to share our inspiring, funny, and thoughtful submissions for July. A huge thank you to everyone who submitted a selfie - we can't wait to see your entries for August!

After some thorough deliberation, we've awarded the top selfie for July to the Fyshwick office team for their super creative communal contribution. 

Each quarter, we'll be sharing a new challenge theme, with your selfies going into the draw to win a $250 AUD e-gift card!* We'll be sharing your submissions each month and shortlisting a top selfie, with the shortlisted entries voted on by YOU at the end of each quarter to decide our overall winner.
