City of Ely Young Peoples’ Photography Competition

The City of Ely Council are proud to present a competition for young photographers.

What does Ely mean to you?

The aim of the competition is to ask the young photographers to tell us what they see when they think of Ely.

We have 4 age group categories

4-7 yrs

8-10 yrs

11-15 yrs

16 -19 yrs

Chair of the City of Ely youth working group Cllr Christine Whelan said, ‘As a keen photographer myself, I wanted to give the opportunity for young people to think about how they see Ely and thought this would be a great way of showing it through the eye of a lens.

Members of the Ely Photographic Club have kindly agreed to judge the competition and a prize will be given to the winner. The winning photos will be published.

We would welcome any leaders of any of the Ely Youth groups to get in touch with us as we would like to expand the Working group as part of our engagement with every youth organisation in the city. Please email the clerk or chair of the Youth working group to express your interest in being involved and for details of the meetings.

The photographs can be taken on any device. All images need to be in jpeg format and max size of 2.5 mb. They will need to be  emailed to christine.whelan@cityofelycouncil.org.uk with the entry form which is on the council website.

Permission must be obtained by parents or guardians for anyone under 18 to enter the competition.

The terms and conditions and entry form can be obtained via the City of Ely Council website or by emailing: christine.whelan@cityofelycouncil.org.uk
