Are you a photographer or do you know any photographers out there? If you have answered yes then you might want to pay attention because its about to get really interesting.
The National Gallery of Zimbabwe came together with the Embassy of Sweden to bring to life the ‘Vana Baba Vanhasi/ObabaBalamhla/Fathers of Today Competition’.
The main focus of this event is to document and showcase the progressive fathers in Zimbabwe by exploring their roles in the life of a modern day child and how their relationships with their partner and child (or children) have changed in light of gender equality.
“We invite you to enter our ‘Vana Baba Vanhasi/ ObabaBalamhla/ Fathers of Today’ photographic competition, dedicated to documenting and showcasing the roles of progressive fathers in Zimbabwe today and how fathers today relate to and interact with their children,” said the Curator for education at the National Gallery of Zimbabwe, Tandazani Dhlakama.
Photographers who wish to take part in the competition are required to submit only two photographs, their artist statement caption, completed and signed entry and copyright forms and curriculum vitae.
A jury will then select 25 outstanding photographers from all cultures, all points of view, with no age limit. These will then stand a chance to win awards that include having their works exhibited at the National Gallery of Zimbabwe in November to December and will include prize money for the best and second-best photos. In addition, the artists will get a free submission review.
But to be in the running for all of these prizes,
“You need to submit your entry by 7 November, 2016 we believe that every photographer who enters deserves thoughtful feedback on their work. That’s why we have top photo editors, educators, portfolio reviewers, curators, and other Industry professionals to give you constructive feedback on your photography plus recommendations for improving your practice,” said Dhlakama.
