‘Macclesfield: A New View’ open photography competition
Launch date: Wednesday 3 March 2010
Cameras at the ready for a new photography competition being launched on Wednesday 3 March, as part of this summer’s Macclesfield Barnaby Festival.
‘Macclesfield: A New View’ is being coordinated by local photographer Alex Wright of teneight studios in Macclesfield.
“This is a really exciting opportunity to showcase local talent and creativity”, he says. “The competition is all about capturing a ‘new view’ of Macclesfield. Each photograph will reflect a different perspective and allow us to see the town through someone else’s eyes. Because it’s open to everyone – professionals and non-professionals, adults and children alike - we should see some really interesting and diverse images.”
It’s planned that every ‘new view’ will appear in a special street exhibition during the Barnaby Festival weekend (18-20 June 2010), with estate agents and shops on picturesque Church Street kindly donating window space for the occasion.
A team of judges will chose four winners, whose photographs will be made into postcards for distribution in the town. One of the winners will be chosen from the 16 and under category, with local schools being encouraged to take part. Each winner will also receive a framed copy of his or her photograph.
“This is a fantastic opportunity to celebrate Macclesfield,” says Jane Munro, one of the Festival organisers. “And a great way for people to get involved.”

The final date for entries is midnight on Friday 7 May 2010. |
