Singapore Young Photographers Convention 2013

Participants can expect to be competing in a team-based photo competition as well as a photography workshop conducted by our keynote speaker. The convention aims to forge a more cohesive community for youth photographers to collate, share and learn beneficial information useful in their various photography journeys.

During the competition highlight, participant pairs will be joined into teams of 4 and work together towards providing a portfolio of 4 pictures (one from each member of the group) based on a theme revealed on the day itself. Following the deadline for submission, our panel of judges will select the top three portfolios based on how the teams have interpreted the theme to facilitiate a basis of flow, composition, arrangement, and other similar elements through the images. 

Participants will also be attending a captivating talk given by our renowned photographer-speaker, sharing insights on his experience as a professional.
Registration opens on the 3rd August 2013 where participants are encouraged to arrive at 7.30am with their respective indemnity forms signed.
