Global Campus Photography Competition – Submit your entry by 30th October, 2017

We are excited to announce that this competition has returned!

This year, we are going to connect the competition theme with the Global Goals for Sustainable Development as they are the ultimate to do list for people and the planet. We will focus on making our cities better places to live and reducing waste by only using what we need.

Our friends at UNICEF are looking for great photographs that they can use to help people learn about the Global Goals, which means that there’s a chance your entry will be exhibited globally!

The theme for the 2017/18 Photographer of the Year Competition is: “Where I Live”

Thinking about the theme   

• Have a think about the theme (Where I Live) and explore some ideas you might have about how to express this theme
• “Where I Live” can include landscape photography, buildings, cars, trains, roads – it’s up to you!
• Have a look online at some photos for inspiration and ideas – or look on GC Online!
• Take your camera and head outside to take some practice shots.
• Share your tips on taking a great photograph on the Padlet on GC Online! 
• Keep practicing until you take the photograph that you would like to enter for the competition.
