The British Egyptian Society

Amateur Photographer is very proud to announce a new photographic competition alongside the British Egyptian Society and the British Museum.

Called ‘Makes Me Think of Egypt’ the competition asks entrants to submit photographs that conjure up the spirit of this great country. It doesn’t matter whether you have been to Egypt or not, as there are endless monuments, statues, buildings and people all around the world, and especially in the UK, that bring the country’s history and culture to life in front of the lens. Be creative, use your imagination and you could win one of these fabulous prizes:

  • 1st Prize: A trip to Egypt covering flight and accommodation (1 week) sponsored by Soliman travel
  • 2nd Prize for under 25: £1,000 sponsored by Eon Media
  • 3rd Prize (best photograph inside Egypt): £500 sponsored by Allam Marine
  • 4th Prize (best photograph outside Egypt): £500 sponsored by Allam Marine
  • 5th Prize: best runner up: £250 sponsored by Allam Marine

The 5 Prize winners will receive also 6 months' subscription to Amateur Photographer magazine and a year's subscription to the British Egyptian Society. Each of the 18 finalists will receive a certificate.

Photographs by the finalists will be exhibited for two weeks at the British Museum. There will be a rolling slide show on a plasma screen of the top 50 photographs.

The top 18 photographs will be touring the country in two further exhibitions; at Edinburgh University before the end of 2009 and at Hull University in the New Year.
