Towergate Camerasure Fine Art Competition 2013 - Reminder for Entries

2013 is a very special anniversary year - as we celebrate the 10th anniversary of the BIPP Towergate Camerasure Fine Art Competition and we are now accepting entries for the 2013 competition.

To celebrate we're offering two top prizes: £1,000 for the Best Portfolio (Five Images) and £500 for the Best Single Image.

All BIPP members are able to enter free of charge including Qualifying and Student members and Friends of BIPP, and the deadline for entries is 14 December 2012.

The subject matter can be anything that falls into the general category of 'Fine Art'. The Portfolio of Five Images must sit together as a panel of images and not be an indiscriminate selection of individual images.

An 'Open' category is also included this year and non-BIPP members will be able to enter for the opportunity to win £250 in the Fine Art Open, Best Single Image category. Entries from non-BIPP members cost £5+VAT per print.

Along with additional cash prizes of £250 each for the Runner Up (Single Image), the International Winner (Single Image), and the Student Winner (Single Image), the top 30 images will form part of an exhibition that will travel around the Towergate offices to promote the involvement of Towergate Underwriting in professional imaging. Images that are selected for the exhibition can be made available for print sales, at prices determined by the entrants, with proceeds split equally between the photographer and Towergate's charity partner for 2013.
