This is the UK NATIONAL ROUND of the EISA Maestro Photo Contest 2021. To enter this contest you must be a UK resident.
Submit a series of 5 to 8 connected photographs on the theme of ‘Joy’.
What brings you joy, happiness, and satisfaction? How can you capture the joy of another or express joy through an alternate means?
This can be posed portraiture, candid moments on the street, still life using objects that bring you happiness, landscapes, architecture or nature. The options for the subject of your photographs are endless. So be creative and tell a story!
Top tips for success: a coherent set of imagery should be submitted, with a common theme, and is best focussed on one genre, and in either B&W or colour, but ideally not a mixture of both.
The winner will get a £200 cash prize and be put forward for the final round of the EISA Maestro Photo Contest 2022, where there's over €3,000 cash plus other prizes to win.
