The Competition
The Art of the City Photo Competition
Creative Tourist, based in the UK, are Manchester's guide for the creative tourist and are very proud to announce the launch of their own open photography competition. Based around the theme The Art of the City, they’re inviting anyone who thinks they’re a dab hand at snapping to send them the photographs that they think surprise, inspire or capture the phrase The Art of the City.
And this is not a Manchester-specific competition. Much as they love and are continually inspired/infuriated by their hometown, this competition is open to anyone from any city around the world.
The winner of the competition will win a luxury break in Manchester (which includes accommodation at the Radisson Edwardian and a meal for two at the City Café), a signed Don McCullin catalogue and tickets for the major exhibition, Shaped by War: Photographs by Don McCullin.
On top of that, the winner and three runner-ups will see their images produced as a free limited edition set of Creative Tourist postcards.
The closing date for entries is the 12 February 2010. For further information please visit the competition website.
