Search for Edinburgh’s Best Young Photographer
Calling Edinburgh’s young (15 - 25) photographic talent - a new Europe-wide competition aims to showcase the continent’s best young photographers as part of the EUROCITIES ‘Your City - Your View’ project.
Entrants must submit up to three images which show a different view of Edinburgh - and the organisers have stated that they don’t want the usual promotional shots, for example fireworks or skylines.
The theme of the ‘Your City - your view’ book is to illustrate ‘people and place’.
The winning photo from this competition will represent Edinburgh in this book and the winning photographer will receive a copy of this book and be included in publicity to promote it.
Entrants must be aged between 15 and 25 and must be resident in Edinburgh.
Images must be 20x30cm in 300 dpi resolution, colour, or black & white (reproduction rights conceded to EUROCITIES).
Images can either be uploaded to the competition Flickr site http://www.flickr.com/groups/edinburghartsdevelopment/ or emailed to edinburghartsdevelopment@gmail.com
Entries should be accompanied by a short description (100 to 150 words) explaining where and why the photo was taken, as well as the entrant’s name and age.
The competition closes on Wednesday 20 April 2011 and the panel, comprising curators and arts officers, will notify the winner by 6 May 2011.
