Rotary is pleased to announce the winners of the RIBI Young Photographer competition 2014. The competition aims to encourage young people to experiment with different techniques and express their ideas through the medium of photography. Sponsored by their local Rotary clubs, thousands of young people from all over Great Britain and Ireland took part by submitting three photographs on the theme of People.
Winners of the three categories are:
Junior winner: Alexander McCormick, Rotary Club of Kirkcudbright
Intermediate winner: Theo Youds, Rotary Club of Andover
Senior winner: Oliver van Zwanenberg, Rotary Club of Midhurst & Petworth
The winning photographs were selected by a panel of judges from Reigate Photographic Society and East Grinstead Photographic Club who assessed the entries on clarity, image, interpretation and technical application. They can be viewed on Facebook here (log in needed).
RIBI President, Nan McCreadie said: “Hundreds of youngsters entered the competition this year and the standard has been exceptionally high. The images include many different interpretations of the People theme and made great use of both black and white and colour photography.”
RIBI Young Photographer is one of many activities which Rotary runs to help young people develop their skills. These include RIBI Young Chef, RIBI Young Musician and RIBI Young Writer.
