Just Clouds


Lloyds TSB has just launched a photography weather competition in the UK, with a top prize of £10,000, and running until the end of September 2010. The lucky twelve finalists’ entries will be on show in a public exhibition in London where the winner will be announced in November. The British weather photographer of the year will be picked by a leading panel of meteorologists and photographers who will be looking for images that capture the love of the weather, demonstrate originality and creativity, and capture best the British climate.



In order to enter the competition, the participants must submit their photos capturing British weather to the Lloyds TSB website. Then all visitors to the site can vote for their favorite photos, and each week the most voted photo wins £100. Being a great opportunity for all amateur photographers to get some recognition for their work, if you don’t plan to enter the competition, at least take a look at the entries submitted so far and vote for your favorite one.



One of my entries, presented also at the beginning of this post, is called just clouds. Even though it is not my best photo made, I think that it captures very well the typical atmosphere: a cloudy sky ready to offer its raindrops. Too bad that I can’t jump in the water right from the cliffs…



 



In the end, the following important information should be kept in mind when you want to enter the competition:



- for full terms and conditions, visit lloydstsb.com;



- participation not available for employees of Lloyds Banking Group and their immediate families;



- entrants may submit more than one photograph;



- the competition will run on lloydstsb.com website from 1 April 2010 until 30 September 2010;



- it is an internet based promotion only;



- the competition is only open to amateur photographers, which means that entrants should not earn more than 10% of their total annual income or £5,000 annually from photography.
