"A Sense of Place" - A Photographic Competition



Croeso/Welcome to the Left Coast Eisteddfod Visual Image Competition. Here you can submit THREE photographs in the categories defined below and compete for a first place cash prize of $150 ( 100GBP approx ) in each category. Your photos need not be of Wales but please do read the detailed rules for submission below. Above all...have fun. Best of luck everyone!



In defining the theme for this years competition our judge , Glyn Davies made the following comments regarding content and submissions:- "What is it about our environment, whether landscape or people, that makes it so particular to us, the artists? We could all photograph a tree on a hillside, a wave crashing over a rock or even a pretty person in the street, but what identifies them with YOUR locality ? As the judge, based in Wales, I am interested in seeing photographs which give me a better idea about the characteristics and atmosphere of the artists homeland. This does NOT mean that images have to be ordinary, they can be moody, dramatic and immaculately composed but I want them to show me that we are all living in amazing and DIFFERENT places. I want the artists to celebrate what is special about their own location and culture. This way, not only do we get to see amazing images, but we can all learn more about each other in the process."



How To Submit Your Image



Two categories of images may be submitted in this competition. The final submission date is Sept 15th 2010 and the winners will be announced at the Eisteddfod ( October 2010 ):-


  • A Photographic Image - either from film or digital cameras which generally represents the subject without adding or subtracting elements. Please feel free to add text explaining why you thinks the image is important - "I do not believe that a picture is worth a thousand words, images can be too easily misinterpreted." - Glyn Davies.

  • A Photographic Illustration - this is any image which has been substantially adjusted and manipulated by whatever means, digital or analogue, and which is generally non representational of a real person/place/event. The manipulation MUST be relevant to a theme or idea, manipulation for manipulation's sake will not be given serious consideration. The idea should be put in writing to accompany the image.


Images must be loaded as a discussion posted in this group OR may be hosted on another site and linked in a discussion in this group. Competitors may submit three images in each category for a total of not more than six images per person. Minors may have images submitted on their behalf by their legal guardians. Non Americymru members are welcome to submit entries to this competition. They can do so by emailing their submissions or links to americymru@gmail.com for inclusion on the Group Discussion page. If non members wish to have a link to a website or blog included as part of their submission they must link back to us. Please email for further details

Just wanted to draw everybody's attention to this:-

"Please feel free to add text explaining why you thinks the image is important - "I do not believe that a picture is worth a thousand words, images can be too easily misinterpreted." - Glyn Davies."

When entering your submissions please try and include a few sentemces explaining why the image is particularly important to you and why you feel that it is particularly evocative of the depicted location.

What a beautiful country Wales is!
Kathleen T. Bushman Comment by Kathleen T. Bushman on November 4, 2009 at 10:23pm
There are some fantastic photos here - are they all from members of this group?! I'm impressed. I particularly liked the one of the stone wall with a tree growing up the side of it, but there were a lot of others which I enjoyed. I wish I had the talent to do any of them.
