Tempest photography prize
Photography is one way of reflecting on the fact that your Study Abroad
period is as much a visual experience as anything else. Each year we ask
students to submit photos taken during their Study Abroad period.
Each student may enter up to three colour or black & white photos into
the competition.
Any camera can produce an interesting image. Sharper images can obviously
be made with digital cameras or single lens reflex cameras, but 'point and
shoot' and even disposable cameras can also do the job.
The prize will be awarded annually by Tempest Photography to the value of
£500 per year. If awarded to more than one student the prize will be shared
equally between the winners.
Photographs are judged by merit. This means that we look at composition,
framing, and focusing, as well as whether the photo is interesting either as
an image in the abstract or as a social or political commentary. A winning
entry might also be chosen because it captures or communicates a strong
sense of place.
Submission Information
Please complete the Entry Form with a title and short description of your
photos. Submissions should be your own work; if you have had assistance this
must be stated.
Entries can be submitted in the following format:
- colour or black & white prints - with a negative;
- electronic submissions on flash drive or CD – not by
email attachment.
DEADLINE: Friday 1 June 2012 (in your final year of study).
Judging will take place in week 38.
The winning photograph(s) will be framed by Tempest Photography and for
final year students will be presented to the winner at the appropriate
Graduation departmental reception, or for non-final year students a separate
arrangement will be made with the department to present the prize.
GOOD LUCK
