Young Fashion Photographer of the Year 2010

Clothes Show Live 2010

Young Fashion Photographer of the Year
Deadline for Submission: 15 October 2010
Age Group: 16 – 25 years

Clothes Show Live returns to Birmingham’s NEC this December to celebrate its 22 years as the world’s leading fashion and beauty event.

Continuing its commitment to nurturing and developing young talent in the creative arts, Clothes Show Live will once again be organising a competition to find the Young Fashion Photographer of the Year as part of the increasingly successful Clothes Show Live Design Awards.

Entrants are invited to send in their photographs for a chance to be chosen as one of 10 finalists who will have their images displayed at Clothes Show Live 2010. The overall winner will be awarded at the show and will receive £1,000 prize money.

The Brief: Music and Fashion
Always dreamt of being a fashion photographer? Clothes Show Live is asking aspiring young photographers to imprison the meeting between music and fashion in just one photo. From Lady Gaga’s eccentric outfits, to Kylie’s sparkling gold hot pants, to The Beatles’ Military jackets (the list goes on and on), music and fashion have always connected! Clothes Show Live is asking you to style, compose and capture a unique fashion photograph to showcase the intertwining subjects of music and fashion.

We’re looking for a Young Fashion Photographer of the Year who can take inspiration from music and fashion and create a striking snapshot that would not look out of place in the pages of the world’s leading fashion magazines or on the front of an album cover.

To enter, simply submit one picture and describe, in no more than 200 words, how you came to create the shot and a detailed explanation of your entry. Please note that all entries must be typed and not handwritten.

The Prize
• £1,000 prize money
• 1 weeks work experience with a top fashion photographer.
• Free tickets to Clothes Show Live 2011
