Etisalat Nigeria, in association with the African Artists’ Foundation (AAF), organisers of LagosPhoto Festival, has announced the 2015 edition of the Etisalat Photography Competition. This year’s competition with the theme, ‘I love Nigeria’, runs between July 6 and September 28, and photographers are expected to submit images in four categories: places, people, fashion and food through LagosPhotoapp website.
“Since commencing operations in Nigeria over six years ago, Etisalat has remained committed to delivering innovative, life-changing products and services to customers and supporting creativity and innovation.
This commitment has led to our continuous support of the LagosPhoto Festival and the development of the arts in Nigeria,” said the Director, Brand and Experience, Etisalat Nigeria, Enitan Denloye.
Between July and September, members of the public are required to vote for their favourite photos across the categories through the Official Lagos Photo App. Top 50 photos in each category will be judged by a panel to unveil the top-three entries. The top-12 across all categories will move on to the final stage of the competition. The winning photographer in each category receives a Nokia Lumia 630.
The grand finale of the competition is in October where the first prize winner will receive a Canon Camera; the second prize winner will get an iPad mini; while the third prize winner will take home a high end Nokia Lumia device.
The Etisalat Photography Competition is part of activities leading to the annual LagosPhoto Festival which kicks off in October.
