BritsNîmes Photo Competition 2017






BritsNîmes Photo Competition 2018
" Built in Southern France "

With Autumn just around the corner if you haven’t taken many pictures this year NOW is the time to start thinking about photos that you could enter for the BritsNîmes Photo Competition 2018.

The competition is open to all members and you don't need to be a keen photographer
or have expensive equipment to be able to produce excellent photos.
Some of last year's finalists were taken on mobile phones and inexpensive cameras.

The subject for this year is

" Built in Southern France "

which can be anything old or new, from a chateau to a sandcastle,
a bridge or the canal beneath it, a church or a Lego model of it,

Entries for this year’s competition have started to arrive and can be seen at

The rules are simple:
Photos must be taken by a BritsNîmes member
They must have been taken after October 2017
They must be attached to an email and sent to
photos@britsnimes.com by 21st October 2018
You can only enter 3 photos.

Here are a few tips that may help you:

For the time being you can enter as many photos as you like and
then choose later which ones to withdraw if you have more than 3
It will be possible to swap photos right up to the closing date.

A shortlist of 12 photos will be chosen by an online vote of all BritsNîmes members
and displayed at the Christmas Lunch,
when the winners will be picked by those attending.

A limit of 2 photos per person will be permitted amongst the finalists and
only one prize will be awarded to any entrant.

Don't hold back because you think your photos aren't good enough.
If you like them the chances are that other members will like them as well

It's simple, it's free, and you could win a valuable prize, so you have nothing to lose.



Happy snapping,

Graham
