The Rotary Club of Guildford District, is launching the first round of the 2012 Rotary Young Photographer competition with Olympic Theme which is open to all young people in the area, aged between 7 and 17 on the 31 August 2011.
The intention is to encourage young people to experiment and express their ideas through photography. The local Guildford competition is the first step towards a district and for those who get through, a national final.
Taking the theme “Olympic Dreams” or “Olympic Spirit” entrants must submit 4 photographs (Max A4 size) to the Rotary Club of Guildford District by 9 January 2012, together with a short description of the inspiration for the photographs and how they feel they reflect the theme chosen. The choice of topic and interpretation within the theme is theirs.
Peter O’Keefe, President of the Guildford District Rotary, said: “As Guildford is one of the prime training hubs for Olympic teams and the last stop for the flame prior to its journey to London, this is an ideal way to fire the imagination of the young people in the area and encourage them to get involved with next year’s events. We would like to encourage as many young people as possible to take part.”
Competition rules, details and entry form
Photographs from the top entrants in each age group will be submitted to the district competition and a selection of photographs by the top two in each age group will be displayed at the Surrey Sports Park in Guildford. Winners from each age group in the Guildford round, will win a free three month family pass to Surrey Sports Park.
