泰瑞奥尼尔摄影大赛

对摄影师来说，赢得重大的摄影奖项意味着职业发展进入了快速通道，意味着他们的作品有机会被业界领袖关注。

泰瑞奥尼尔摄影大赛今年已经进入第八个年头，是公认的世界上最顶级的摄影赛事之一，每年都吸引了数千位的报名者参加。今年，该赛事在创新性、参与性和奖品设置方面都达到了一个新的高度，将为获奖者提供其他摄影赛事所无法企及的参与公关活动和宣传的机会。

在英国皇家摄影协会的赞助下，我们启动了全新的官网，并增加了移动终端类摄影作品奖。我们从艺术和传媒界挑选杰出的代表人物组成新一届的评委会，并启动了全球宣传，以吸引从柏林到北京的参赛者。

获奖作品将参加在伦敦和海外地区举行的泰瑞•奥尼尔作品展，并接受《星期日泰晤士报杂志》的专访。奖金总额为6500英镑，包括一等奖奖金3000英镑、二等奖2000英镑和三等奖1000英镑。移动终端类摄影作品奖的获胜者将赢得500英镑的奖金。

报名截止日期为2013年11月30日：参赛作品必须在2013年1月1日至11月30日之间拍摄。报名费为25英镑，每位报名者可提交3至10幅的作品参赛。学生的报名费仅为10英镑。

今年的评委会由来自电影业、广告业、全球图像重现、出版业、学术界和英国皇家摄影协会的杰出代表组成，其中包括：

• 泰瑞•奥尼尔

• 主席：乔恩•琼斯，《星期日泰晤士报杂志》摄影总监

• 普特南勋爵，电影制作人、广告业先驱

• 埃丹•沙利文，盖蒂图像有限公司副总裁

• 尼纳•伯曼，纽约哥伦比亚大学副教授

• 迈克尔•普里查德博士，英国皇家摄影协会总干事

• 波比•巴克-巴罗斯，时代生活丛书编辑部摄影总监

• 维多利亚•布洛克斯，维多利亚与阿尔伯特博物馆（大卫•鲍伊个人收藏展策展人）

• 罗西•阿诺德，百比赫广告公司执行创意副总监

迈克尔•普里查德博士表示：

英国皇家摄影协会很高兴能赞助泰瑞奥尼尔摄影大赛，特别是移动终端类摄影作品奖。我们认为不同的拍摄方式没有高下之分，也支持通过新技术让更年轻的群体能够接触摄影，使摄影变得更大众化、更有即时性。该奖项开创了新的局面，在众多摄影比赛中别出心裁，令人耳目一新——这也是我们所欢迎和支持的。

半个多世纪以来，泰瑞•奥尼尔一直以拍摄名人肖像闻名于世，他所拍摄过的名人包括碧姬•芭铎、弗兰克•辛纳屈、披头士、滚石乐队，还有最近刚拍摄的纳尔逊•曼德拉和已故的艾米•怀恩豪斯。

泰瑞•奥尼尔表示：

泰瑞奥尼尔摄影大赛旨在挖掘摄影新秀，展出并发表他们的作品。

在喧嚣嘈杂、竞争激烈的今天，即使是最闪亮、最有才华的摄影新星也很容易被埋没。一般摄影比赛的参赛费用可高达50英镑，普通的摄影专业的学生又怎能负担得起？泰瑞奥尼尔摄影大赛将学生的报名费降为10英镑，为摄影专业的学生提供了一个和职业摄影师公平竞争的平台。相比之下，许多摄影赛事并不为学生群体提供优惠，即使有优惠，它们高额的报名费仍让学生望而却步。

Terry O’Neill Photography Awards Go Global and Mobile

A major photography award can set photographers’ careers on the fast track, introducing their work to leading figures in the industry.

The Terry O’Neill Photography Award is in its 8th year and is recognised as one of the world’s leading photographic awards attracting thousands of entries each year. This year we are taking the Award to the next level to make it the most innovative, accessible and valuable photography prize, providing the winners and runners-ups with levels of PR and publicity that set a new benchmark for other photography awards.

The Award launches with a fresh website and a mobile device category sponsored by The Royal Photographic Society. A new distinguished panel of judges from the arts and media are backed by an international publicity campaign to attract entries from Berlin to Beijing.

The winners will have their work showcased in Terry O’Neill exhibitions in London and overseas and will be featured in the Sunday Times Magazine. £6500 of cash prizes can be won. The winner will receive £3000 and two runners-up £2000 and £1000 respectively. The winner of the mobile device category wins £500.

Deadline for entries is 30 November 2013: images must have been shot between 1 January and 30 November 2013. Standard cost of entry is £25 for a minimum of 3 and up to a maximum of 10 images. Student cost is just £10.

The line-up of judges this year introduces Award entrants’ work to a distinguished panel of figures from film, advertising, global image reproduction, publishing, academia and the Royal Society of Photography. The judges are

• Terry O’Neill

• Chair: Jon Jones, Director of Photography, Sunday Times Magazine

• Lord Puttnam, film-maker and advertising industry pioneer

• Aidan Sullivan, VP, Getty Images,

• Nina Berman, Associate Professor Columbia University, New York

• Dr Michael Pritchard, Director-General, Royal Photography Society,

• Bobbi Baker-Burrows, Director of Photography, Time-Life Books

• Victoria Broackes, Victoria and Albert Museum (Curator of the David Bowie Exhibition)

• Rosie Arnold, Deputy Executive Creative Director, Bartle, BogleHegarty Advertising

Dr Michael Pritchard says:

The Royal Photographic Society is delighted to sponsor The Terry O’Neill Award and specifically the category for mobile devices. The Society doesn’t discriminate between different methods of taking pictures and supports new technologies that bring photography to a younger audience making photography more accessible and spontaneous. This Award breaks new ground and adds a fresh and exciting dimension to the photography Award arena - something we welcome and support.

Terry O’Neill is famous for photographing the frontline of fame for more than half a century, snapping icons such as Bridget Bardot, Frank Sinatra, The Beatles and The Rolling Stones, and most recently Nelson Mandela and the late Amy Winehouse.

Terry O’Neill says:

The Award is designed to give brave new talent a springboard to recognition and success and the chance to be exhibited and published.

Today there is so much background noise and competition the brightest and best new photographers can easily go unrecognised. But as a photography student how do you afford Award entry fees that can be as high as £50? This Award provides a level playing field to professional and student photographers alike, offering a reduced entry fee of just £10. Many Awards do not offer a discount to students and where they do the cost can still be prohibitive.
