Are you a photographer? Then why not enter our competition?  

The brief is simple: photograph your favourite thing or things.

This week we are launching our photographic Competition 'My Favourite Things...'. The Competition is open to all, with a junior category for Under 16s. All entries will be seen by a panel of judges, and 20 will be chosen for an Exhibition and Sale at The Green Tree Gallery as part of the Arts Gigantic Event from 23rd August to the 14th September 2008.  Prizes will be awarded for the winner and runner up in each category. 

Photography is a growing art form and in this digital age is becoming far more accessible. New talents are emerging as more people are able to experiment with the art of making pictures without splashing about with chemicals!  At the Green Tree Gallery we display the work of several up and coming photographers and we feel it is important to expand on this and encourage those who are finding their way and experimenting with a camera, maybe for the first time.

However the old film methods are also going through a revival.  We believe that both forms are equally valid, and would welcome either in our competition.  So this is a challenge to both the old pros in their darkrooms, and the new kids at their screens.

The competition is open for entries from Thursday 8th May until 5pm on Thursday 3rd July.

The judges include: staff from The Green Tree Gallery, representatives from Park Cameras and local photographer Sarah Wright.
