British Wildlife Photography Awards 2010 [ Shortlisted ]
My Shortlisted Photograph In The British Wildlife Awards 2010.
Earlier this week I received an email notifying me that I’ve been shortlisted in the British Wildlife Photography Awards 2010.
“An international photography competition, the BWPA was established to celebrate and recognise the talents of photographers of all nationalities practicing in the UK, while at the same time highlight the great wealth and diversity of British natural history. At a time when we're increasingly conscious of the importance of wildlife, habitat and conservation, the Awards encourage photographers, whether professional or enthusiast, to explore Britain’s natural and urban environments, and discover its bounty of wildlife, from birds to mammals, insects to marine life.”

Yesterday I received confirmation of the forthcoming dates and venues of the Sony World Photography Awards Global Tour 2009/10, so I thought I'd post the information in case anyone wishes to take a look at the exhibition for him/herself. Further details and website links for the galleries can be found on my exhibitions page.

I’ve been eagerly awaiting my copy of the Sony World Photography Awards Book for weeks now and I’m pleased to say that it finally arrived today.

The 2009 edition focuses upon the environment through the lenses of Bruce Davidson, Stuart Franklin, Cédric Delsaux and Brent Stirton. The book features all the winners, with comments from the jury members, and features a retrospective dedicated to Marc Riboud, recipient of a Lifetime Achievement Award.

The Sony World Photography Awards is a truly global competition. From Argentina to Zimbabwe, over 60,000 photograph entries were submitted this year from 139 different countries. The Honorary Judging Committee, comprising of world-renowned photographers, curators, representatives from leading international photo agencies, publishers and critics made their selection from 36,546 professional and 25,370 amateur photography submissions. I was shortlisted in the Fine Art - Natural History category in February 2009 with my series of black & white photographs documenting starlings in flight. Yesterday I was announced as one of the third place professional category finalists! I really didn’t expect to even be shortlisted, so I’m really pleased to have got this far on my first attempt of entering the competition (and plus, there’s always next year!).

In July I submitted a series of photographs into this years ‘Environmental Photographer of The Year Competition’. This international competition seeks to “honour photographers who use their ability to raise awareness of environmental and social issues”. Today I was contacted by the judges who said that my submission had been successful and that they would like to include my photograph ‘Aloha From Blackpool’ (above) in the exhibition, which is great news.
