This year,
Bridport Museum are launching an exciting new photographic competition
aimed at capturing the essence of Bridport as seen through the eyes
of everyone who calls Bridport home.
Bridport
Museum already has a huge catalogue of images charting the last 150
years of the town, but is keen to ensure that future generations can
enjoy looking back on our times in and around the town. Museum curator,
Alice Martin says.."As more and more of us are able to take pictures,
with anything from traditional film cameras right through to our mobile
phones, there is a great opportunity for all of us to capture the essence
of Bridport the way we see it, for future generations to enjoy.”
Prizes
will be awarded in two categories, aged 17 and under, and over 17 years
and a third category for photos taken with mobile phones open to all
ages.. Competition is open from now until July 15th, 2009.
For full
rules of entry and application forms please visit www.bridportmuseum.co.uk
Application
forms can also be collected from Bridport Museum, South Street.
Images
should be taken in and around Bridport and West Bay area, but mostly
should be a reflection of how you see your town! And remember, this
is a family competition and exhibition so photographs which are felt
unsuitable for family viewing will not be accepted.
So
go out, be as creative as you want, and send us your photos of Bridport
as you will remember it.
