Ebbw Vale Institute (EVI) is inviting all photographers to put your skills to the test for Ebbw Vale’s first photomarathon.

The marathon will help document Ebbw Vale in 2009. Each photographer will be given six mystery themes to capture throughout the town centre.

You can use your mobile phone or digital camera, everyone welcome!

One image per theme will be entered into the competition to impress our panel of judges, which includes Ebbw Vale Camera Club and Coleg Gwent Photography Department.

First Prize: £75 Walter’s Photography voucher.

Second Prize: £50 Walter’s Photography voucher.

Third Prize: £35 Walter’s Photography voucher.

The final pictures will be exhibited at EVI and www.create-at-evi.org for all to see and everyone will have at least one image on show.

Come along and enjoy drinks, food and entertainment at EVI whilst you submit your photos for entry into the competition.

We will all meet at the library at 10.00 am on Saturday 11th July. To let us know that you are coming, contact Sam on 01495 708022.
