HOW TO ENTER
The BJP International Photography Award has no theme. Photographs can be captured in any format, film or digital, and can be of any style or genre. Anyone can enter, amateur or professional, from the UK or abroad. The Award consists of two separate competitions - the first of which recognises a coherent body of work, the second of which recognises a single image. Photographers are welcome to enter both competitions, and to enter more than one body of work, or image. The deadline has now been extended to 02 October.
To enter a single image
You will be asked to submit the £5 fee (also payable in Euros or US dollars, priced €7 or $10) via PayPal and will then be able to upload a single image plus text and contact details.
Uploaded images should be 72dpi and a maximum of 900 pixels wide at this stage but must be available at 300dpi for exhibition at the AOP. Photographers are welcome to submit more than one image, but must pay and upload separately for each.
RULES OF ENTRY
The images can be shot in any format, using any camera model, on film or digital. If you are entering a series of images, please indicate the viewing order, if appropriate. Please label each image with surname_firstname01/2/03/04 as appropriate. Full contact details and picture details should also be inserted into the pull-down-file information box, for example, at File>File Info in Photoshop.
Captions or a short text can be included with the photographs. Please include this as a Word document with the CD or fill in the appropriate box in the upload area. Please make clear to which image each piece of text refers. The text can be a maximum of 200 words long per image.
The final judging will take place shortly after the deadline. The winner must be available to supply images for exhibition printing between 17 - 20 October. The successful entrant will be asked to discuss the prints with Spectrum Photographic, and their exhibition plans with the BJP. Digital files of all the winning images will be created for press and publicity purposes.
The successful entries will be displayed at the AOP Gallery for one week in late November 2008. There will be an evening launch of the event. Please note that The AOP Gallery will take 30% commission on any sales.
CD submissions will be returned if sufficient postage and packaging is included with the entry.
The winners may have the loan of 50x60cm frames for the duration of the exhibition. Printing of the exhibition will be output to fit these frames and mounting costs will be met by BJP.
British Journal of Photography, the Association of Photographers, and Spectrum Photographic cannot be responsible for any loss or damage to submitted work.
BJP and the AOP reserve the right to display, reproduce and publish in any media, any entry, without payment, for the sole purpose of the BJP International Photography Award and exhibition - this year and for five years - and its promotion and publicity. In other words, we may use entries to promote and publicise the contest (this year and for five years), but we will not use images for any other purpose. No copyright is transferred to the BJP or AOP in respect of any works entered or accepted. All images will be credited to their copyright owners when used to promote the BJP International Photography Award and exhibition. Each entrant shall be deemed to warrant that they own the entire copyright in the work or that they have permission from the licensee and/or copyright owner/s for the uses and that all necessary model releases and clearances have been obtained.
All relevant clearances must have been obtained for the use of the photographs for publication and exhibition.
Damage or loss to photographs, however caused, are the responsibility of the photographers. The organisers will not be responsible for any loss or damage, whether or not caused by negligence. BJP advises entrants to ensure that their own insurance covers any eventualities.
Entries from photographers living outside the UK are very welcome, however, the winner must meet their own costs for travel and accommodation if they wish to oversee the printing, hanging and opening of the exhibition. E&O - errors and ommissions. |
