Media Release 20 August 2008 Everyone who loves to take photographs can have the chance to win a prize in the Lord Mayor's Charity Photographic Competition. The competition is open to all ages and abilities. The winning entry will also have the opportunity to feature in the Lord Mayor's Christmas card for 2008. Photos should depict the subject "Exeter - the Old and the New", and be submitted as unmounted prints no larger than A4 size, including those taken by digital camera. The entry fee of £5 per print will be donated to the Lord Mayor's Charity for 2008-9, Southbrook Specialist College's Extended Learning Opportunities Project. A special class for entries by young people under 16 years of age will have no entry fee, so that all young people can be encouraged to take part. The winning photo by an over-16 will win a one hour photo studio session and ten A4 prints, valued at £280, provided by Exesight Photography. The second prize winner will receive a voucher for £250 for use at, and provided by, the Frame Warehouse and Picture Gallery. Third prize is an Epson R285 inkjet printer plus photo paper and a 20x24 print of the photographer's entry, provided by Focal Point Imaging. The prize for the Under-16 class will be a Fuji Z10fd camera provided by Focal Point Imaging. The Lord Mayor of Exeter, Councillor Paul Smith, said: "Exeter has so much history, alongside such wonderful new developments, that it really lends itself to great photographic opportunities. Here is a chance for everyone to have fun interpreting the title "Exeter - the Old and the New". At the same time we can do a lot of good by helping Southbrook College raise funds for much-needed activity areas for its students, who have a range of learning needs."
