A Cotswold Scene Photo Contest

Image Seen logo.jpg (107 KB)The Cotswolds area is known for its picturesque villages and rolling countryside. Take part in our exciting new photography competition which is giving YOU the chance to show off your photography skills and show us just how special the Cotswolds is.

Supported by the Cotswold Conservation board, Isis framing of Oxford and Blueprint Imaging of Witney, the Cotswold Scene competition is open to all amateur photographers, including the under 16’s, and will culminate in a 6 week long exhibition at O3 Gallery in Oxford Castle at the end of the year. This is an excellent opportunity for you to show off your skills and see your work exhibited in one of Oxfords best galleries.

A Cotswold Scene is divided into two main sections, the Cotswold Scene Photographer and the Young Cotswold Scene Photographer, the latter being for those who are 16 and under on the closing date of 15th October 2010.

Entries will be judged at the end of October by a panel of judges including Sarah Howard, landscape photographer and founder of A Cotswold Scene, landscape photographer Charlie Waite, Steve Watkins editor of Outdoor Photography magazine, Nicola Greaves of the Cotswold Conservation Board, and the curator of the O3 gallery.

Categories are as follows:

‘Cotswold Life’:
This category is for images of people/animals/wildlife interacting with the Cotswolds, ie simply enjoying, working or playing in the Cotswold landscape. Possible subjects could include cyclists, walkers, a farmer working the land, children playing, feeding ducks, playing Pooh sticks, Cotswold sheep etc, as long as your picture shows people/animals within the Cotswolds environment (no close up portrait shots please ).

‘A Cotswold View’:
This image should capture the beauty and variety of the Cotswold landscape. It could be a big view, a view that looks to the distance; a glimpse down a side street or a classic village scene. Your image should be instantly recognisable as the Cotswolds and show what us is uniquely beautiful about the region.

‘My Cotswolds’:
What does the Cotswolds landscape mean to you? A long walk on a sunny day, sitting on a bench taking in a wonderful view, yourself and your friends out horse riding or enjoying a cream tea outside a Cotswold tea shop. Almost anything goes here, as long as it is in the Cotswolds and in the outdoors. With such a wide scope this is your chance to really use your imagination, and creativity and show us why the Cotswolds is so special to you.
