2007 Competition Winning PhotoFriends of Troopers Hill

Photo Competition 2010
'Enjoying Troopers Hill'

Many of you will remember the photo competition we ran in 2007 - it proved popular so we have decided to run another one in 2010.

This time, the competition will run from the 1st January until 31st October 2010. Your challenge is to take a photograph at any event taking place on Troopers Hill — not just ours. The subject could be a work party, the Good Friday Service, one of our events or any other organised event as long as it takes place on Troopers Hill or Troopers Hill Field. So, there is loads of scope.

Independent judges will decide on the winning entries in two categories — 16 & under and over 16, so please make sure you tell us what age you were when you took your photograph. Prizes (apart from the glory) will be a gift voucher of your choice to the value of £20 and the winners will be announced at our 'Review of the Year' in December 2010. There are a few simple rules below. Entries can be in any format—digital or otherwise.

Please enter, have a bit of fun and bring out the budding David Bailey in yourself!
If you are in need of inspiration then look at our Events Page which has lots of photos of past events; or visit the flickr Troopers Hill Group Pool which has lots of great photos - but we are sure that you can do better!

Competition Details

 Photos should be taken at an event on Troopers Hill Local Nature Reserve or Troopers Hill Field during 2010.

 There are two categories for photographers under 16 under and 16 & over.

 You can send your photographs either as an electronic image to , or as print or slide to Bryan at Modelmania, Clouds Hill Road, St George BS5 7LD. All entries need to be received by 31st October 2010. All photos will be scanned and then judged in a digital format.

 There will be a first place prize in each group and we will also announce runners up and any commended entries. Prizes will be a gift voucher of your choice to the value of £20 and the winners will be announced at our review of the year at 3pm on 5th December 2010 at Summerhill Methodist Church. More detailed rules (the small print!) are shown below.

We will endeavour to return slides (so make sure we have your details), but not prints.

If you enter an image, you will retain the copyright to that image, but you will automatically give us the rights to use that image as we see fit in the future in our, or allied groups, publicity.

Judging will be by a panel of independent judges; the judges will not be told who submitted the photos.

Each person can enter a maximum of three images - if you submit more than three please tell us which ones should be entered otherwise we will randomly select three to go forward to the judging.

A statement of ownership of the images you submit will be required.

If the age of the photographer is not stated we will assume you are over 16.

No person deemed as a “professional” photographer shall be eligible to enter.

Judges and Friends of Troopers Hill's decisions are final.
