Details of the 2010 Calis Carnival Photography Competition were announced this week. With competition sponsors "English & More" International Learning Cente providing 12 cups this year, the competition should be more popular than ever!
The annual competition is open to amateur photographers of all ages. For the first time this year, thanks to the generosity of our sponsors, there will be cups for the 6 adult winners of the various categories PLUS cups for the 6 Junior winners (under 16 years old). There will also be certificates for the 2nd and 3rd placed entries in all categories.
There are six categories for you to enter:
Humorous
Portrait/People
Wildlife/Nature/Animals
Seascape/Landscape
Cultural/History
Black and White/Sepia – any subject
The one major condition of the competition is that all photographs must be taken in Turkey. Contestants can enter one photograph in every category and the photographs can be mounted or un-mounted (but not framed). The entrant should put their name and contact details and the category on the back of the photograph or mounting board.
The winners will be chosen by an independent panel of judges including our sponsors English & More and professional photographer Hakan Sahin of Fethiye.
Entries should be handed in to FETAV Office, Kismet Bar or Val's Bar in Fethiye or into the Nil Bar or Golden Moon Estates office in Calis. The closing date for the competition is Monday 18 May.
All of the photographs will be exhibited as part of the Carnival Exhibition on Calis seafront on Saturday 29 May.
Even if you are not in Turkey you can still enter the competition when you are out on holiday or you could get someone to bring your photos out for you. Unfortunately the carnival committee cannot accept e-mailed photos as we cannot be responsible for printing these entries.
Entrants must be aware that all photographs entered will not be returned and that they will become the property of the Calis Carnival Committee and may be used in future carnival publicity projects. For example some of the photographs entered in previous years have been featured in the Carnival Calendars and on Charity Christmas cards.
