FIRST INTERNATIONAL PESTIVAL
PHOTO COMPETITION



We're looking for your photographs of life in the insect world. They can be documentary or impressionistic, just as long as they reflect our theme of insects in art, and the art of being an insect.

You are actively encouraged to seek out local wildflife, but if you are lucky enough to have been, or to be going, on holiday, now's your chance to impress us with exotic insect life!

We're running two categories, one for photographers up to the age of 15, the other for ages 16 and up.

Each photographer may submit only one image, taken in the last five years. They can be prints or digital files.

PRINTS: Should be no larger than A4 (210mm x197mm). Please do not send originals or negatives as we won't be able to return images to you. Please send prints to us at our snail mail address.

DIGITAL FILES: Should be in RAW format, or uncompressed TIFF files at 300dpi or the highest possible save setting. Images should be no larger than A4 print size. Please label them with your own name. Please either email them to our contact email, or post a CD to our snail mail address.

Every image should be accompanied by a note containing its title, the photographer's name and age, plus any other relevant information, such as the species and where it was photographed.

PRIZES

16 and up category – a copy of Adobe Photoshop CS2.

15 and below category – a computer-controlled microscope.

The deadline for submissions is Monday 1 May 2006.

The IAP photo competition is kindly sponsored by 2005 Wildlife Photographer of the Year prize winner Mr George Duffield.

Please note that by entering the competition you agree to have your image displayed both on this web site and at the 2006 International Arts Pestival.
