Master Of Photography 2

You may not be aware of the TV program Master of Photography, it is on the Sky channel. I have only seen one episode so cannot really comment about it much but it is a sort of reality tv contest like so many others but based on photography rather than food. So they are looking for people to apply for a second series, I received this email:

We are producing the second season of Sky Arts  Master of Photography, the first European TV talent contest open both to professional and amateur photographers.

We would like to inform you that the online casting session for the Sky Arts Master of Photography is open.

The competition has been created by the Sky Arts Production Hub, a commissioning and production centre of excellence dedicated to creating quality arts programmes for Sky’s 21 million customers across the UK and Ireland, Italy, Germany and Austria.

An international committee of photography and art experts will select the final line-up of 12 contestants, who will compete for the title of Best New European Photographer and the biggest prize ever offered in a European photography competition:€150,000.

Aspiring contestants can submit entries for the competition from Wednesday 14th September till Monday 31st October 2016 via the show’s website,www.masterofphotography.tv .  Applicants must complete the form and supply a portfolio containing between 5 and 10 photographs choosing from one of the following styles: portraiture, reportage, landscape, urban, commercial (e.g. food or fahion), conceptual , along with a brief video presentation (only english spoken required; maximum length 2 minutes).

The show official language is English; the contestants will need an excellent understanding of English both spoken and written.

The deadline for the submissions is Monday 31st October 2016

Over the course of 8 weeks, we will test the creativity, instinct and versatility of our 12 contestants. Each of our photographers will receive guidance from world-class photographers and experts.

We would like to invite you to spread this call to action to your students (18 years old or older) and/or teaching staff.
