more opportunities (possibly too late??)

Channel 4 is launching a major new competition for photographers across
the UK which we hope will be the beginning of an exciting annual
television and on-line event.

THE ONLINE COMPETITION

This summer the UK’s most exciting undiscovered photographers will be
invited to take part in a major new Channel 4 series, competing for a
fantastic prize. Applicants will be able to apply using an open-entry
website and will be asked to submit three photographs - one in each of
the following categories:

PORTRAIT   –   STREETSCAPE / LANDSCAPE   –   WHAT’S IMPORTANT TO ME

Selection for the series will combine peer voting with the expert
opinions of our selection panel.

ABOUT THE SERIES

After the online application process is complete, a selection of the
most promising photographers will be asked to take part in the series.
Over three weeks filming in August 2007, the photographers will
undertake a series of assignments, testing their skills in a number of
different photographic genres and techniques.

Their work will be assessed by world-famous members of the photographic
community; amongst them photographers, buyers and curators. Only one
photographer can win the overall competition and the fantastic prize.

The series is set to broadcast in early 2008 and is part of an exciting
new multimedia venture for Channel 4 that combines both web and
broadcast platforms.


SELECTION CRITERIA

Applicants for Picture This must be available throughout the month of
August to participate in the series. Picture This encourages
photographers from all disciplines. Applicants must be over 18 to be
considered for the series. Applicants from overseas may apply to
participate but must be prepared to cover their own travel to and from
the UK.

Professional photographers who have earned less than £30,000 in the
last 12 months from photography may apply.

series, email photos@renegadepictures.co.uk
