Dear School Representative,
We are pleased to launch our first photographic competition in conjunction with our
first Educational Zone Marquee at The East Anglian Game and Country Fair at the
Norfolk Showground 25/26th April, at which the two overall finalists will be
announced.
Entries are now open, and details of the criteria for entry are as follows:The competition is split into two categories:
Junior 8-11 years*
My Favourite Thing
Pupils’ brief:
We would like you to photograph your favourite thing. You can take the picture in
your home, your garden or somewhere else. Your favourite thing might be a toy or a
kitchen object, a clock, an old pair of shoes or something else – you decide!
Senior 12+ years*
My Favourite Place
Pupils’ brief:
We would like you to photograph a place that means something to you. This place
might be in your home or garden or somewhere completely different. You might
want to place props into the picture to illustrate what the place means to you. It
could be somewhere you sit and read, a place where you do a hobby, or just a place
you like to be – it’s up to you!
