The deadline for the Capturing the East Riding Photography Competition is fast approaching, on Friday, 30 September, with residents urged not to miss the opportunity to show off their creative talent and be in with the chance of winning a great prize.
Entries have been coming in steadily and are being uploaded to the online gallery of the competition website www.eastriding.gov.uk/capturingtheeastriding
The competition is open to all amateur photographers. Eligible photos must have been taken in the East Riding on or after 1 October 2009. They should be a minimum of 300 dpi or 5 MB. Full details are available on the website.
After the competition closes, entries will be judged and the winners exhibited at the Beverley Art Gallery in 2012.
Organised by the East Riding Cultural Partnership, the competition has received generous support from a host of partners.
Hilary Saynor, chair of the Partnership, said:
“We are extremely grateful to all our partners. Their support has helped us to publicise the competition and get more people involved. They have also donated some wonderful prizes that will no doubt please our winning photographers.”
“Capturing the East Riding is an excellent example of what can be achieved when people pull together and help make a great project happen.”
