TOP Photo competition
I hope you are well. I work for TOP (the fuel company – formerly TOP Oil) and we’re running a photography competition which is open to any amateur photographer in the country, which I thought would be of interest to many of your members.
The photo can be of any subject, taken anywhere in Ireland and the winning photos will be compiled to make the TOP Calendar for 2011 – distributed to 50,000 homes. So if there are any budding photographers out there who want immediate exposure, we’d be delighted to receive their entries!
More information can be found on our Facebook page, http://www.facebook.com/topphotocompetition and entries can be sent to photo@top.ie with the why, when and where the photo was taken. And don’t forget to include names and addresses! The closing date is 30th June. You can also follow us on Twitter http://twitter.com/TOPOil for all updates.
If you have
any questions or require any further info, you can reach me on:
01 293 99 77 (Lorraine Cronin).
Irish Met Society photography competition
I would
be very grateful if you could inform your club or society members about
this year's Irish Met Society photography competition. Our 2009 competition
was extremely successful with the winner, Anthony Byrne, going on to
achieve first place in the European
Met Society competition.
Most of our 2009 entries can be found here:
- some of these appeared in our Winter and Spring Newsletters. With
the photographers' permission, we also submitted these photos to An
Post for a possible stamp series and are keeping our fingers crossed!
Weather over the past few months has been very diverse so I am sure
we will receive a lot of great photographs again this year.
The competition rules are below.
Please also see our website http://www.irishmetsociety.org

What to photograph: Any Irish location but the photograph must have
a seasonal or weather theme.
Some rules: The competition is open to everyone with a maximum of 3
entries per person. Only colour photographs are accepted and there must
