The competition is open throughout June and July, the closing date is 1 August 2024.
Entries are limited to 2 per participant and all photos should be emailed to BoldonFestivalPhoto@gmail.com
Your entry should include:
- your name
- the age category you’re entering
- WHY the picture is important to you
Please note that:
- Images of children require permission from a parent / guardian
- People featured in photographs must agree to their image being displayed.
A selection of entries will be printed, mounted and displayed at Boldon Community Association during Festival Week, 19th – 26th August 2024.
A prize will be awarded for the entry judged to be the best in each age group.
Tips and Hints
- Photos can be taken with any type of camera – phone or dedicated camera.
- The higher the resolution of your photo the better the display print will be but photos will not be judged on the technical specs of the phone or camera used.
- Photos can be in colour or black and white.
- The subject matter is not important, it’s what appeals to you that is important.
- Photos can be taken at any time of the day but avoid photographing into direct sunlight.
- Photos must be taken in East Boldon, West Boldon or Boldon Colliery.
