CeWe Color Ltd 50 Years of Innovation – 2011 Warwickshire Photography Competition

CeWe Color Ltd, Europe’s leading photo finisher, is celebrating '50 Years of Innovation' in September with a series of events. Based in the heart of Warwickshire, CeWe has launched a local photography competition to mark the occasion!

CeWe Color Ltd is looking for local photographers in and around Leamington Spa, Warwick, Kenilworth and Stratford-Upon-Avon to get their creative thinking caps on and upload up to three images around the themes of ‘Warwickshire’, 'Innovation' or '50'.

Entrants can submit brand new images that have been specifically taken for the competition or dig up existing photographs that fit one or more of the themes. It’s all about inspiring ideas and originality not technical abilities or knowhow, so anyone and everyone can have a go!

On Wednesday 30th September 2011, a professional panel of judges from local photographic societies and VIPs will select 50 of the best images, which will then be turned in to a limited edition CEWE PHOTOBOOK. The entrant who is selected as submitting the best photograph overall will have their image printed on the front cover of the photo book. The winner will also receive a copy of the CEWE PHOTOBOOK, a £50 photo book voucher, and a digital camera!

Runners up will receive a £10 CEWE PHOTOBOOK voucher and one of the limited edition photo books with their image inside.

Happy submitting and good luck!

How to participate

Join the 'CeWe Color Ltd 50 Years of Innovation - 2011 Warwickshire Photography Competition' Flickr Group. Please note: if you are not currently registered with Flickr, you will need to follow the instructions to set up a free account. If you are new to Flickr, you must upload your image(s) by 23rd September 2011 at the latest, to ensure they appear on the group page before the closing date 30th September 2011.

Upload a maximum of 3 photos. Make sure that you make your photos public by setting the privacy on your photo to “Anyone” (Public). Please upload the highest quality photo available.

Add photo description. The more description you give the better. Make sure to give us your name, where the photo was taken (be specific; town, place etc) and date, photograph subject, and any more interesting tidbits that might help tell a story.

Is your photo not showing up in the Group pool? If your account is new, first you need to upload at least 5 photos to your Flickr account (not only to this group). After that minimum has been reached, then it shouldn't take more than a few days until your photo appears in searches, groups, etc.
