CANON-THE NEW PAPER

Young Photographer of the Year

Canon and The New Paper are now looking for Singapore’s first Young Photographer Of The Year. We want to give him the gear and the training to kickstart a professional career.

The winner will get a full fledged dSLR system worth $5,000 : Canon EOS 30D body, 430EX flash, 3 pro-grade prime lenses – 24mm F2.8, 50mm F1.8, and 100mm Macro F2.8 and the new Pro9000 A3-sized photo printer.

He or she will also earn an internship (lasting at least four weeks) with The New Paper’s Photo Desk, and be guided personally by award-winning veterans.

Three other runners-up will win Canon EOS 350D and 400D kits.

You don’t need to own professional gear to join.

•	As long as you are able to show us three photographs, one each of the following themes – People, Action and Scenery, we will be able to tell if you have the chops to make it in this line. Images can be taken with any film or digital camera but not camera phones.
•	Finalists will have to undergo an intensive one-day shootout organised by TNP.
•	You must be aged 16 to 35, and the TNP internship must be served within one year of the competition end date, or forfeit a cash value of the prizes won.
•	Contest entries should be taken within the past two years, properly captioned (description of subject, time and place taken), sized between 1 and 2MB, and emailed to tnpwin@sph.com.sg
•	Include your name, email address, contact number and type of camera used for the entries.
•	Deadline is 29 Mar 2007.
