See one of your photographs make it into our 2017 calendar
It’s that time of the year again folks where we at Dublin Photography School run our
annual calendar photography competition in support of Epilepsy Ireland. We are delighted
to say that it is now in it’s fifth year and is growing from strength to strength. The
competition runs from August 25th 2016 to midnight September 25th 2016. We are
looking for 12 winning images in total. These images will represent the 12 months of the
year in our 2017 calendar. The overall winning image will appear on the cover of the
calendar.
The theme is ‘The Four Seasons of Ireland’
What do you feel uniquely represents the true meaning of the four seasons in Ireland? Maybe it
is an autumnal leafy park scene, a snowy winter portrait, a sandy beach on a warm spring day,
a busy Christmas market, the first buds of springtime, a striking sunset landscape on a
summer evening or one of our many rainy days! Let your creativity flow & show us a unique
image that expresses one of the four seasons, spring, summer, autumn or winter. Allow your
photograph tell a story & let it be the one that stands out from all the others. Think outside the
box & look for an interesting & unique approach to what you what to photograph.
