TCA Abu Dhabi launches photography contest

ABU DHABI, October 27, 2014

Abu Dhabi Tourism and Culture Authority (TCA Abu Dhabi) has launched a global photography competition to celebrate the emirate’s rich maritime heritage and its year-end stopover hosting of the Volvo Ocean Race (VOR).

The competition entitled ‘Abu Dhabi - At One with the Sea’ will be held in collaboration with the Abu Dhabi International Photographic Society, Emirates Photography Competition and Gulf Photo Plus – a company which trains photographers and markets photographic products, said a statement.

The first prize will be a trip to the VOR Auckland Stopover in New Zealand next February, with the winner receiving media accreditation to document the event on Abu Dhabi’s behalf.

The second prize comes courtesy of the five-star Desert Islands Resort and Spa by Anantara and will feature a weekend break at the nature-based Sir Bani Yas Island in Abu Dhabi’s Al Gharbia Western region, with exclusive photo shoot access to the animals in the island’s Arabian Wildlife Park.

The vouchers for Gulf Photo Plus workshops will go to the third place winner.

The top selected photos will be exhibited at a 'Breakwater Gallery' for public viewing. The gallery will be a feature of Abu Dhabi’s Destination Village on its Corniche being activated specifically for the VOR stopover from December 12 to January 3.

The photographers can enter as many as three digital photographs, in colour or black and white. The deadline for submissions is November 30.

Hosted by TCA Abu Dhabi, the VOR Abu Dhabi Stopover will feature three weeks of sailing action, water-sports, entertainment and family fun. - TradeArabia News Service
