Passion for Perth Photographic Competition
The Committee for Perth has a vision of a future Perth that is vibrant, innovative, dynamic and inclusive and that capitalises on the advantages given to us by our natural landscape and abundant resources. We are working to ensure that Perth and its surrounding metropolitan area will be the first choice city for business people, students, artists and families from all over Australia and the world.
We are commissioning an annual photographic competition that will demonstrate the quintessential lifestyle attributes in Perth. Photographs entered can depict people, landscapes, recreational or commercial activities but need to reflect an iconic West Australian lifestyle activity or scene from across the metropolitan area. Elements to be captured could include:
· Innovation
· Entrepreneurship
· Natural attributes and clean skies
· Opportunity
· Sense of community
· Educational Strength
· Unique location
· Active lifestyle
· Creative practice or artistic endeavour
· Rich cultural demography
· Infrastructure
The competition is open throughout 2011 to any residents of Perth. All shots must have been taken after 1 January 2011 and be submitted before the competition closes on Friday 18 November.
Finalists will be selected and displayed and the winner announced at the Committee for Perth End of Year Event - date to be confirmed. There will be a cash prize of $1500 for the overall winner and another prize of $500 applying to young photographers under the age of 21.
