The new photo competition from the Scotland National Rural Network website challenges you to capture the Seasons of Rural Scotland on camera! The competition will run until 31st August 2011, with staggered closing dates for each of the four seasons.
Previous photo competitions were very popular indeed and the standard of entries was extremely impressive. We’re looking for the same high standard with our Seasons of Rural Scotland competition, and we’re confident you’re going to exceed our expectations!
With the four seasons as your themes you’ll be able to submit photos with a wide range of subjects including landscapes, wildlife, people and events. You can submit in advance for each theme, and judging will be quarterly. So, although Autumn is our first season deadline, you might want to submit your Summer photos in advance!
We’ll be publishing sesonal galleries with the entries, so the competition is going to build up a pictorial story of a year in rural Scotland.
Choosing winners and runners up for each of the seasons is going to be tough, and we’ll need your help to do it. We’ll be shortlisting five photos and asking you to vote in an online poll for your favourite. And at the end of the competition, you’ll be asked to vote for your overall favourite.
We’re also calling all young photographers to get involved. If you’re under 18 you can enter under any of the seasons until 31st August 2011. The team here will then have the difficult task of choosing a winner in two categories – up to 12 years old and 13 to 18.
You can get more information, and find out how to enter, on the Photo Competition section of the Scotland National Rural Network website.
