Free Photography Workshop For Capturing the East Riding

The East Riding Cultural Partnership is delighted to announce that another local contest has been launched as part of the Capturing the East Riding Photography Competition.

Viewfinder Photographic Society (VPS) has launched ‘Give Us Your Best Shot’, a contest that encourages East Yorkshire residents to capture what their local area means to them, through their camera lenses.

‘Give Us Your Best Shot’ will run until Saturday, 3 September, culminating in an exhibition in Skidby on Saturday, 1 and Sunday, 2 October. Prizes will be awarded to winners, whose photos will be submitted to an East Riding-wide competition for a chance to be exhibited at the Beverley Art Gallery in 2012.

VPS will host a series of free workshops in May to help participants get involved in the contest and learn more about taking good photos. For more information, visit the VPS website at www.viewfinderphoto.co.uk  or call (01482) 867450.

David Marshall, VPS chairman, said: “We want to be inspired and inspire others to use their cameras and send us their photos. It doesn’t matter how experienced you are. We can help people to take better pictures. We’re a friendly club and passionate about photography and we’d love to know what the East Riding means to you.”

Hilary Saynor, chair of the East Riding Cultural Partnership, said: “Viewfinder is setting a brilliant example. Their free workshops are an excellent way to promote the contest locally. It’s great to see such an enthusiastic group sharing its love of photography with other enthusiasts.”

Capturing the East Riding is supported by East Riding of Yorkshire Council, the East Riding Cultural Partnership, LEADER Coast, Wolds, Wetlands and Waterways, Press Association and Hull & East Yorkshire Mind.
