European Year of Equal Opportunities for All - Photography Competition
12.10.2007

The Equality Personnel and the Student Unions in all seven Universities across Ireland have teamed up to hold a photography competition for staff and students (separate categories) to mark the European Year of Equal Opportunities for All.
The top prize is €1,300 (for both categories) and the runner-up prizes are €450 each. All of the prize fund will be awarded in time for Christmas.
 
The theme for the competition is "Changing Perspectives: Equality/Diversity in my University" and it has been organised to contribute towards the aims of the European year by increasing awareness amongst the Irish university population of approximately 16,375 staff and 96,637 students about the equality/diversity of staff and students in universities in Ireland.
 
This competition is open to all, including complete beginners. For those of you interested in entering but are not regular photographers, help is on hand in the form of a lunch-time class with a representative of the UCC Photography Society on "Making the best use of your Camera". This session has been organised for Friday, October 19th  2007 at 1pm in the River Room in the Glucksman Gallery.
 
The top two staff and student photographs to represent UCC at the intervarsity finals will be chosen by UCC staff and students through on-line voting following a preliminary judging stage by a panel. €200 will be awarded by UCC for first place and €50 for second to the entrants that will represent UCC at the intervarsity finals. All of the photographs submitted to the intervarsity finals will be displayed in a 2008 calendar, copies of which will be given to all staff in UCC and to students via the UCC Students Union.
 
So whether you have an interest in photography or equality, would like a bit of extra spending money for Christmas or would just like to show off to staff in the other universities about how multi-talented the staff in UCC are, then get flash and submit an entry!
