ROCK CHALLENGE UK :: BE YOUR BEST FOUNDATION (PagEd)

For Students

2009 PHOTOGRAPHY COMPETITION

This year the Rock Challenge® Photograph Competition is happening again! We?re looking for the best photo from the event day that truly captures the spirit of Rock Challenge®.

Here are just a few examples on when photos could be taken:

The journey to the venue
The mosh (crew or your team or just the general madness!)
Your rehearsal
Your stage crew working hard on the day
Getting the hair and make-up ready
The business of the dressing room
Having fun with friends and making new friends
After the results

Entries into the Rock Challenge® Photograph Competition are due in by midnight on Sunday, July 12th to coincide with the announcement of the winners of the National Awards and to allow any photos taken at the National Grand Final to be taken into consideration.

Here are the rules:

Both students and teachers can enter
Photos must be sent via email or post, but please bear in mind that we won't be able to send back any entries, so make sure you make a copy of your entered photo before sending it.
Each individual may submit a maximum of three photographs.
Make sure with your entry you give your name, your school name, the date that the photograph was taken on and a short 'title' plus, if you want, a description of the photo.
No pictures can be taken of the evening performance onstage.
If your photo involves 10 people or less, you must have the permission of those individuals involved before submitting your photograph for entry, i.e. if it's a picture of you and your friends or a couple of friends you make on your event day make sure they are okay for you to send the photo in! If your photograph is of many people from many schools, e.g. a big group shot of the mosh, we will send the photograph out to all of the schools on your event day to see if any schools have any issues with it being considered for entry (remember that some schools have individual child protection rules!)
If your photograph involves Rock Challenge® crewmembers, do not worry about seeking permission from them; we will do this for you.
The taking of photographs must not interfere with the running of the event day. You may not stop or disrupt the proceedings and please ensure that you do not interrupt Rock Challenge crewmembers from doing their jobs.
Entrants are free to use editing software as you see fit.

Along with the results of the National Awards we will announce the top entries into the competition. Each will receive a framed certificate for their success with first place receiving a framed certificate and merchandise pack. Photographs may also be used in future publicity material, artwork, press releases, etc.

We already know that a lot of photos are taken on the event days and so we hope many students take up this opportunity to show off their photography skills!
We look forward to seeing what entries we receive in this, the second year of the Photograph Competition.
