The Competition
Sun Awards 2008
Ends 30th June 2008
The SUN Awards - now entering its 20th year - recognises and rewards the best commercial photography in the UK regions, working in the disciplines of Advertising, Design, Fashion or Editorial. It is open to professional photographers who are based in the northern regions of the UK, from Midlands to the North of Scotland. Fuller details are available on the website.
This is a true contest all about celebrating and promoting the photography and the photographers who enter. It is run by photographers for photographers and commissioners of photography. Further opportunities are provided for participants through print sales. SUN is a not for profit event, and copyright remains with the photographer.
"The category awards will be presented on the launch night of the exhibition displaying all the winning entries. This takes place in late autumn. The exhibition may also tour to other venues around the country."
There are prizes up to the value of £1500.
