We’re well aware that the Isle of Wight has oodles of photographic talent.
You only have to look at our regular Picture of the Week awards to see that.
So we reckon there’ll be plenty of Islanders interested in entering a new national photographic competition which launched at the beginning of April.
Yes folks, the hunt is on for the Lloyds TSB Insurance Weather Photographer of the Year.
The entries will be judged by a leading panel of award-winning photographers and acclaimed meteorologists and the winner could bag a whopping £10,000 first prize.
We’re told the competition runs for six months and will result in a public exhibition in London where the lucky finalists’ entries will be on show.
To keep the momentum going throughout the six month period, the great unwashed will have the opportunity to vote on their favourite pictures online, with £100 going to the most popular photo uploaded each week. Bonus!
Paula Llewellyn, Head of Marketing Services at Lloyds TSB Insurance said: “As a proud sponsor of the Channel 4 weather, we’ve launched the Lloyds TSB Insurance Weather Photographer of the Year Competition so Brits can show us what they love about the climate, and what ‘British Weather’ means to them.”
