TALLAGHT PHOTOGRAPHIC SOCIETY:
Annual International Photographic Exhibition & Competition
Monday 26th May – Wednesday 4th June
County Library
Tallaght
Dublin 24
Tallaght photographic society, founded in 1974 is one of the most active local photography groups in South Dublin County. The Photographic society operates from Bancroft, Tallaght, the procurement of which was financially assisted by South Dublin County Council, and which is encouraging the expansion of the society’s activities and events.
Last year marked the 12th year of the hugely successful annual international photographic competition & Exhibition and this year we are delighted to host the 13th annual competition.
It is very important to note that this is in fact an International photographic competition, which accesses and encourages submissions from photographers from all over the world through all the new technologies of email and internet.
Activities of the society include lectures, demonstrations and workshops during the winter months. Then during the long and light summer months the members organise outings during the week and weekends.
The Tallaght Photographic Society encourages the participation of beginners and advanced level photographers, and caters for both through classes and workshops while also encouraging new membership.
There are three categories in the competition: Open Colour, Black & White and Slides. Three prizes will be awarded in each category. A gold medal will be awarded for the best sports photograph and a sculpture for the best overall winner.
The exhibition will be launched on Monday 26th May at 7pm in the County Library Tallaght, Dublin 24. For further information, please contact John Byrne, President of Tallaght Photographic Society at 2440649.
