Scotiabank's annual calendar contest returns under a new theme for the 2018 edition. Dubbed the “Exceptional Moments ” Calendar Photo Contest, this year Scotiabank is inviting the public to submit images that capture the extraordinary.
The contest is open to both novice and experienced photographers and will include weighted judging criteria and a three-person judging panel.
“This year we want photos that capture the unique nuances of The Bahama Islands. We’re not just looking for a pretty picture, we want to see the extraordinary.
This can be achieved by the way a moment is captured, as well as the subject being photographed.
From a thunderstorm rolling in, to swimming pigs. The photographers really have an opportunity to showcase awe-inspiring work.” Commented Nakera Symonette, Senior Manager of Marketing and Public Relations at Scotiabank.
For added convenience to entrants, the contest will be hosted online this year. Photos can be uploaded via the competition website and the entry form will be completed online at the same time.
Photographers will be allowed to enter up to three different images into the contest for consideration.
Selected images will be featured in the 2018 Scotiabank calendar and photographers will be awarded up to $600.
Having previously partnered with professional photographers and the University of The Bahamas Visual Arts Department, the Scotiabank calendar has a history of stellar images. Scotiabank encourages anyone with an eye for great pictures to submit an entry.
Qualifying photographs must be taken in The Bahamas, be in landscape orientation and the entrant must have a copy of the image with a minimum 300dpi resolution, in JPG format.
The competition opens on June 26, 2017 and will close on July 24, 2017.
