Photography Competition 2005
Added to website: 16 June 2005
Following the success of last year’s competition we are pleased to announce that entries are now open for the CCC Photographer of the Year 2005 Competition. We are once again looking for images which capture the CCC expedition experience.
Why Enter?
Volunteer images are a very useful tool for us to communicate the important conservation work we do around the world- images of volunteers on survey for example allow members of the public to better understand our activities in the field and images of wildlife help to convey the importance of conserving threatened environments. The competition also allows you to document your expedition and share your experiences with others.
Selection Criteria
Images will be judged on ability to capture the CCC expedition experience, as well as originality, technique and skill.
Judging
A CCC panel of judges, including the Managing Director, Director of Science and Director of Public Relations, will select the winning entry.
The Prize
The winner will be awarded with a SL545 SportDiver 35mm Underwater Camera and the image will be displayed on the CCC website and in the CCC e-newsletter.
