City of Belmont - Snap Up A Prize


The City of Belmont will be holding a photographic competition and exhibition a little later in the year and Camera Electronic will be helping with the prize sponsorship. There is a little over a month until the entries close so there is still time to plan and shoot your masterpiece.

It will not just be senior photographers either - there is a valuable set of prizes for students and youth.

The form to enter the competition plus a clear explanation of the timing and the rules is to easy to find Go on over to:

You'll note the youth section that runs from 12-18 years old, and the general open section. There are two days in July on which the art can be delivered, but you'll need to do the business of entry by the 20th of June.

There are several divisions and prizes in each one - Camera Electronic will be offering $ 300 for the Open Highly Commended winner. Some of the prize divisions are marked as acquisitive and some not. There is an opportunity to offer works for sale, with the exhibition organisers taking a percentage of the price, or works can be shown free of sales offer. The organisers do stipulate that for ease of exhibition, the prints must be mounted on a 40 x 50 matt board

There is also a clause that assures the photographers that they will retain copyright in their images and be credited whenever they are shown. The City of Belmont also noted that they will reserve the right to publish suitable works free of charge for their publicity purposes.

The works will be publicly exhibited at Belmont Forum between the 22nd of July and the 3rd of August. There should be quite some interesting images.
