AWPS/Vibe Public Photography Competition

Aperture Woolwich Photographic Society has teamed up
with the News Shopper Vibe magazine in a quest to find
the best photographers, young and old, across Greenwich

Whether it’s a pricey DSLR or a mobile phone you use to
capture your subjects, we want to see what you can do
behind the lens.

Our snappy contest is FREE to enter and is split into two
categories, one for under 18s and one for over 18s, and the
theme for pictures is Greenwich and Lewisham during
the Olympics 2012 which is open to interpretation from
our entrants.

Entrants can send in a maximum of two pictures saved as
JPEGs, no more than 1024 pixels wide or tall, to
vibepics@woolwichphotographic.com
