Norwich HEART Photography Competition 2011/12
About the competition
Following the success of the last three years’ ‘Norwich 12’, ‘Medieval Churches’ and ‘My Heritage,
My Norwich’ photography competitions, Norwich Heritage Economic and Regeneration Trust
(HEART) is running another prestigious photography competition, to showcase inspiring
photography talent and to once again celebrate the city’s outstanding heritage as a whole.
This year’s theme is:
Alternative Angles:
New perspectives on Norwich’s heritage
Entries must reflect unique and interesting angles and new perspectives on heritage in Norwich.
We are not prescribing a particular definition of heritage; it is up to each entrant to take and submit
photo(s) which they feel reflects their interpretation of the theme.
Entries can be in black and white or colour; portrait or landscape; external or internal; from a birds
eye or worms eye view, features and close-ups or panoramic views; they can include the historical
built environment such as buildings and streets or the natural environment; they can include people
or a person; they can focus on or include particular objects; they can be literal or more abstract
interpretations.
Judges will be looking at:
 Photographic content and composition
 Originality and creativity
 The story-telling quality of the image – what it says about “Alternative Angles” and new
perspectives on Norwich’s heritage
Categories
As with last year’s competition, there are no individual subject categories, just one main theme.
However there are two age categories: one for under 25-year-olds and one for over 25-year-olds,
with one prize for the winner of each category. Each entrant can enter up to five different
photographs.
Prizes
There will be one winner in the under 25-year-old category and one winner in the over 25-year-old
category. Judges will also shortlist a number of other photographs at their discretion. The winning
photographs and shortlisted entries will be selected for a photography exhibition which will run in
Norwich city centre during spring 2012 and potentially at further venues later in the year.
The two category winners will receive:
 Their photograph in a photography exhibition, plus associated publicity
 A £150 Chapelfield Gift Card, to be used in Chapelfield Shopping Centre, kindly donated by
Chapelfield
 A trophy
 Four tickets to the launch event of the exhibition
 A bag full of Norwich heritage goodies
Shortlisted entrants will receive:
 Their photograph(s) in a photography exhibition
 Two tickets to the launch event of the exhibition
 A selection of Norwich heritage goodies
If your image(s) is/are shortlisted we will notify you by 16th December and in early 2012 will contact
you for more information about your inspiration behind the photograph and why it represents your
