Towergate Fine Art Competition - Last Call for Entries

To all interested in entering the BIPP Towergate Camerasure Fine Art Competition 2013, this is your last chance. The closing date for entries is 5pm on Friday 4 January. Please visit www.bipp.com/awards for full details and an entry form.

All BIPP members are able to enter FREE OF CHARGE including Qualifying & Student members and Friends of BIPP.

2013 will be a special anniversary year, as we celebrate the 10th anniversary of the competition and to celebrate we're offering two top prizes: £1,000 for the Best Portfolio (Five Images) and £500 for the Best Single Image.

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.

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.

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.
