Annual Competitions
Besides the End of Year Competitions which are held in November each year, we also have our annual Photojournalism and Social Documentary, Photo Essay, and Annual Project competitions.
Photojournalism is a record of any event which tells a story of what has happened, is happening or is about to happen, the sight of which excites or stimulates one of the human emotions. Set up portraits are excluded. Social Documentary Images are concerned with the portrayal and interpretation of society encompassing both human and non-human subject matter.
A Photo Essay comprises a set of four (4) images which when viewed together tell a story or depict a coherent theme or concept that is not necessarily narrative or story-telling in nature.
The Atkins Technicolour Annual Photographic Project is similar to a set subject competition, and will be judged on the same night as the annual Photo Essay and Photojournalism/Social Documentary competitions.
The theme for 2012 is Forces of Nature. The Definition is as follows:
Any photograph that depicts the action or consequences of the forces of nature: water, wind, fire or earth movement.
The sections for entries in each competition are:
- Colour Prints
- Monochrome Prints
- Digital Images
Entry forms must be submitted with entries in each section, in each category. The 2011 entry forms may be downloaded here. .
