Haddo Arts Festival
Organisers at Haddo Arts have been delighted by the response from local photographers to the Photography Competition which is part of the annual Haddo Arts Festival.
The Competition has been a regular feature of the Festival but, this year, more local entries have been received than ever before.
There are four categories – Images of Haddo, Wildlife and Land, Sea & Sky – with a special category for the Under 16s. This year’s judges are Lord Aberdeen, Anne Campbell, Head of Analogue Photograph at Gray’s School of Art, and Simon Ovenden, official Festival Photographer.
Across all the categories over 250 images were submitted and the winners will be announced at a special Reception at Haddo Country Park on Sunday 1st October at 1pm. An Exhibition of the work of the winners in 1st and 2nd place in each category will run in the Pheasantry in Haddo Country Park from 1st to 29th October.
Among the prizes for this year’s Competition are a Workshop in Analogue Photography and Bromoil Technique with Anne Campbell of Gray’s School of Art, a meal for two at the Meldrum House Hotel and tickets to any of the exciting events at the Haddo Arts Festival 2017.
Simon Ovenden, official Festival photographer and one of this year’s judges, said, ‘The quality of the images we have received has been astonishingly high. Although developments in technology have changed standards in photography in recent years, you cannot replicate the artistry of a well composed image and we have seen these in abundance.
We were especially impressed by the standard of the work submitted in the Under 16 category. It is good to know that the future of photography in Aberdeenshire is in such safe hands.’
The Haddo Arts Festival runs from 7th – 14th October. Tickets are available from www.haddoarts.com or by calling 0333 666 3366.
