Competition
The Photographic Angle regularly runs photographic competitions which are open and accessible to everyone, regardless of their location, ability, experience, equipment or age.
Each competition has a theme, chosen by our Head of Design, and we welcome submissions that illustrate this theme showcasing originality and a unique viewpoint. The competitions are free to enter and TPA enlists the help of an independent judge who is given the responsibility of selecting the winning entries. One photographer whose entry is deemed the best representation of the competition theme will be awarded a prize.
Throughout the year, our Head of Design will also choose a selection of the best entries submitted to various competition themes for inclusion in one of our future photographic exhibitions. The chosen images will then be printed by the charity and exhibited at no expense to the photographers. If your work is chosen for inclusion you will be contacted via email and asked to send us high resolution versions of your work.
Prize
The prize for the winning entry will be a £50 (or equivalent value for your Country) Amazon Gift Card or Voucher.
There is no alternative prize and the judge’s decision is final.
Competition Judge
Wayne John
I have been involved in photography since buying my first SLR, a Zenit EM back in 1978 and I had a home darkroom for mono prints. I bought my first digital camera, a Nikon DSLR in 2008 but now usea Sony A7iv and a A7iii for infrared work
Following a serious illness I was forced to retire from work in 2016, which allowed me to spend of time on my photography. I am a member of two Camera Clubs: Cymru Mono in Swansea and Afan Nedd in Port Talbot. I am also a Welsh Photographic Federation Judge, and I give talks to clubs. When judging I tend to lean more towards the aesthetics than the technical.
I try to keep my photography quite varied, from landscapes to urban and street. I’m quite fortunate to live in a forest, just outside Swansea, close to the Gower peninsular (the UK’s first area of outstanding natural beauty) where you will often find me on the salt marshes, and also within a few minutes drive to the rolling hills of Mawr to the north.
To keep me inspired I like to create projects. These may be things like: 1 hour 1 lens, using a fish-eye. Or maybe the same challenge but one day urban the next rural. Some projects are long term, like photographing the man-made objects within a rural setting but treating them as natural. Most recently I have started doing Infrared photography.
