Photo competition
3rd November 2010
What does it mean to be a woman in Auckland today?
To mark the YWCA Auckland's
125th anniversary, the YWCA Auckland and The Aucklander
local newspaper are jointly running a photography competition,
calling for images of our women in today's world.
"In this photo competition, we expect to see inspired and
inspiring photographs of women in Auckland today - empowered and
embracing leadership in all roles in their lives," says Hilary
Sumpter, YWCA Auckland's CEO.
The YWCA has been working on women's leadership
development for 125 years, supporting the women of Auckland to be
empowered; to be able to make informed choices in their lives.
The competition will run over three weeks in November and was
announced on November 4th in all four regions where the
Aucklander is published. It will close Thurs 25th
November at 5pm.
There are three entrant categories: Youth (12-18), Portrait and
Creative Interpretation. Prizes for each of these categories
(as well as overall winner and public choice) have been supplied by
supporters Vodafone, Polaroid and Samsung.
Winners will be judged by The Aucklander's chief
photographer, YWCA Auckland Board Member and Marketing Manager and
well known photographer Becky Nunes.
Winners will be announced at a cocktail party to be held by the
YWCA on Wednesday 1st December at October Reign in
Newmarket (and published in The Aucklander on Thursday 2nd
December). Prints of the winning entries will be
auctioned on the night as a fundraiser.
