Photo Competition & Critique

Other Occasional Competitions
Currently, there is a PR competition with a handsome Fuji camera for the winning entry.
Other competitions have been run at PTO, for example in 2004 & 2005, Hasselblad sponsored a competition. Over a three or four day period, delegates were able to borrow from Hasselblad the superb XPan panoramic 35mm camera for half a day. The brief was only to produce a set of 3 pictures to enter into a competition. The prize: A brand new Hasselblad XPan. The 2004 & 2005 winning panels are shown below :-

Competitons at Photo Training Overseas
For January 2011, PTO are inviting digital entries by CD/DVD to ensure all delegates have the opportunity to enter with minimal cost to themselves.
 
Entries are invited for submission at any time with a closing date of 30th November. Delegates may submit any number of entries, however the first two images will be free of charge with a £5 or 5 Euro charge per additional image. Categories are PORTRAIT/WEDDING/OPEN. You must indicate the category and include your name on the face of the disc. If you are submitting into different categories please put your images into different folders with your name and categories clearly marked on the face of the disc. Your disc should be accompanied by any remittance due with your entry.    
 
All images will receive a critique by our judging panel in Egypt but the finalists will have been pre-selected with top quality prints made by One Vision - at no cost to the delegate. Prints will be taken out to Egypt judged by a panel made up from the speakers and displayed during the week.
 
Entries on CD/DVD must be at 300dpi and to 16 inch on the longest side. We aim to have the prints made to 16"x12" mounted on foam board for ease of transportation.
 
Superb trophies - sponsored by SWPP - will again be presented to the winners and runners-up. All short-listed entries receiving merits. 

Entrants will be given the prints and their trophies to take home after the awards.
