Makes your heart skip a beat
“At national level to be hovering close to the top is always reassuring. But winning a top prize on a European stage against the ‘best of the best’ makes your heart skip a beat. And whilst winning an award of such magnitude is indeed an ‘ego boost’, the real value is to be gained through the high profile jobs that can be won as a consequence.
High profile clients want high ‘profile photographers’, they want
to be seen to be winners too”, Gerry O'Leary, Ireland, 2009 Winner of the Commercial Category states. Gerry also holds the prestigious Master Qualified European Photographer distinction. “The more I understand it, the sweeter the taste of my victory. I am sure that participation in such contests makes a photographer grow professionally”. Pictorial-category winner Yuri Afanasiev, Russia, adds.
With FEP President Neil Warner as Chairman of the Jury, this prestigious competition will be judged by an international jury.
The competition will close for entries on July 15th 2010. The entrants will be asked to pay a small fee for participating.
