Summary of Competition Guidelines

Task 1 - For Individuals in the three age group categories

To produce a photograph based upon the theme, ‘ A Moment in Time ‘ in colour or black and white on photographic paper.. Each print, including any mount should be no larger than A4 size. Mobile Phones may be used.

We are aware that not all competitors will have access to printing and to assist this we are seeking the help of schools in making these facilities available. There may well be a cost to this to cover the schools expenses.

The copy should be accompanied by a brief statement about your photograph in not more than a hundred words including the heading. This is your opportunity to explain how your photograph reflects the theme.

Task 2 - For Schools

The organisers are offering a second competition for a school montage of at least six prints based upon the same theme outlined above. The Photograph should be displayed and mounted together as a coordinated display to illustrate the theme.

This must be the combined work of a group of students and must be presented with the permission of the school or organisation named.

Each print, including any mount should be no larger than A4 size. Mobile Phones may be used.

The portfolio should be accompanied by a paragraph of text not more than 600 words in length including the heading.

Task 3 - This is an alternative category for mobile phone users.

If you consider your photo would be more suitable for an e.photo rather than a print, then a special prize is available for you. Submit an alternative photo electronically. This must be based on the same theme outlined.
