‘Go Green’ Photography Competition

DUBAI — The ‘Go Green’ Photography Competition based on environment-inspired images will be held for budding photographers, a media release from Canon Middle East said.

The competition will be judged by an online panel consisting of eminent photographers such as Bobbi Lane, Chris Hurtt, David Nightingale, David Tejada and Robin Nichols.

The winner will take home a DSLR Canon camera – the EOS 500 D while the three runner-up winners stand to get prizes in the form of a EF-S 18-135 IS professional Canon lense, a Canon Speedlite 580 EX II and photography workshop vouchers.

Entries can be viewed online at Canon’s dedicated micro site while winning entries will also be displayed at the Foto Weekend exhibition dedicated to photography enthusiasts.

Hendrik Verbrugghe, marketing manager said the month-long nationwide competition is part of the company’s support of photography in the region.

“It is the latest in a series of our initiatives to raise awareness about how we interact with the environment around us,” Verbrugghe said.

“We hope to inspire local photographers to think ‘green’ and help keep the local environment at the forefront of peoples minds through the power of image.”
