Alamy is sponsoring an aviation photography competition launched by PrivateFly.com. The Private Jet Photography Awards 2013 are now open for submissions and will be judged by an expert panel from the world of aviation and travel photography.
The awards will be launched at the start of international aviation trade event EBACE 2013, and include five categories: In the Air, On the Ground, Detail, Aircraft Crew and Speed. Entries are invited from both amateur and professional photographers based anywhere in the world.
The international judging panel includes established aviation and travel photographers Nick Meers, Paul Bowen, Jessica Ambats and Craig Easton. Other judges include Alan Capel - Head of Content at Alamy, Caroline Metcalfe - Picture Editor of Conde Nast Traveller and Manfred Zollner – Managing Editor of Fotomagazin in Germany.
A cash prize of £250 (or equivalent local currency) will be awarded to the winner of each category, with the overall winner receiving an additional £1,000 from PrivateFly. If the winning photographer submits to Alamy, they will receive 100% commission for the first sale and be promoted as a featured photographer. The closing date for entries is 31st August 2013.
Alan Capel, head of content at Alamy, comments: “Speed, aspirational travel, power (both kinds!), global connections, business, pleasure, business and pleasure... the list goes on. Good aviation photography can be conceptual, dramatic, interesting and occasionally astounding. We are delighted to be involved in this competition and look forward to seeing the entries.”
Adam Twidell, CEO of PrivateFly.com, is an experienced private jet pilot, former RAF pilot and another member of the judging panel. He comments: “These new awards are an exciting opportunity for private aviation photographers to receive global recognition for their exceptional talent and dedication.”
