Google Photography Prize: Looking for the photography stars of the future

Posted on 01:10 by Unknown
En Français

Google+ is only a few months old, but the photography community is already thriving on it. Take a look at the profiles of Scott Jarvie, Thomas Hawk, Colby Brown or Claire Grigaut to see just a few of the inspiring photographers on Google+. More than 3.4 billion photos have been uploaded to the platform in the first 100 days.

We’re really excited about this, and think great art deserves great exposure. So we’re teaming up with Saatchi Gallery, London for the Google Photography Prize, a chance for students around the world, including across Africa, to showcase their photos on Google+ and have their work exhibited at a major art institution.

The contest is open to university students around the world (some exceptions apply, see google.com/photographyprize for more details). From far-away places to up-close faces, there are 10 different categories to spark your imagination. And there are some great prizes to be won: 10 finalists chosen by a jury of renowned photographers will show their work at Saatchi Gallery, London for two months in 2012 alongside Out of Focus, a major photography exhibition, and win a trip to London to attend the exhibition opening event with a friend. One winner will go on a once-in-a-lifetime trip to an amazing destination with a professional photography coach.

It’s easy to enter: After you pick a category, upload your photos to Google+ and share them with the world as a public post, then visit the submission form on google.com/photographyprize by January 31, 2012 to enter.

Saatchi Gallery, London will share updates on their Google+ page for the contest, so add it to your circles if you want to see the great work that’s being submitted.

We can’t wait to see your photos and have Africa represented in the competition!

Prix de la photo Google : A la recherche des stars de la photo de demain

Google+ n’a que quelques mois mais la communauté des photographes s’en est déjà emparée. Jetez un coup œil aux profils de Scott Jarvie, , Thomas Hawk, Colby Brown ou Claire Grigaut pour ne citer qu’eux, et vous serez convaincu du talent des photographes sur Google+. Plus de 3,4 milliards de photos ont été téléchargées sur la plate-forme au cours des 100 premiers jours.

Nous sommes ravis et nous pensons que le grand art mérite une exposition digne de ce nom. Nous faisons ainsi équipe avec la Saatchi Gallery à Londres pour décerner le Prix de la photo Google, l‘occasion pour les étudiants à travers le monde, Afrique comprise, de montrer leurs photos sur Google+ et de voir leur travail exposé dans une institution artistique de premier plan.

Le concours est ouvert aux étudiants des universités du monde entier (à quelques exceptions près, voir google.com/photographyprize pour plus de détails). Lieux exotiques ou portraits en gros plan, il existe 10 catégories pour laisser libre cours à votre imagination. Et de superbes prix sont en jeu : les dix finalistes sélectionnés par un jury de photographes reconnus pourront exposer leurs œuvres à la Saatchi Gallery à Londres pendant deux mois en 2012, dans le cadre de Out of Focus, une grande exposition de photos, et gagneront un voyage pour deux à Londres pour assister à l’ouverture de l’exposition. Un des gagnants se verra offrir un voyage exceptionnel vers une destination surprenante avec un photographe professionnel comme coach.

Pour participer : après avoir choisi une catégorie, il suffit de télécharger vos photos sur Google+ et de les partager avec le monde entier sous forme de post public, puis de remplir le formulaire d’inscription sur google.com/photographyprize avant le 31 janvier 2012.

La Saatchi Gallery à Londres mettra à jour les infos sur le concours sur sa page Google+. Ajoutez-la à vos favoris si vous voulez regarder les superbes travaux proposés.

Nous sommes impatients d’admirer vos photos et de voir l’Afrique représentée dans le concours!
