Contemporary Images of the Diocesan Priest.

A Photographic Competition

In celebration of the Year of the Priest, Priests for Scotland invites you to present Contemporary Images of the Diocesan Priest. Photographs should depict the essence of the Diocesan Catholic Priest. This competition is organised by Priests for Scotland with sponsorship from Arnold Clark, Phoenix Honda, T&R O'Brien. The Union of Catholic Mothers, and The Catenian Association.

Remember you don't have to photograph a priest, simply enter an image that is expressive of diocesan priesthood.

THE COMPETITION

The competition is divided into two sections.

Section One

This section of the competition is open to pupils of secondary school age. In this section the winning school will be awarded a prize of £500 of photographic equipment. A further prize of £150 will be awarded to the winning pupil. The second prize in this section of the competition will award £75 to the second placed pupil. If you live in an area of Scotland that does not have Catholic secondary Schools then please contact your diocesan vocations director.

You are invited to submit contemporary images of the Roman Catholic diocesan priest not simply pictures of priests. Whatever you decide to shoot, your images should make an impact.

Each competitor may enter only one section, but you can submit up to five photographs.
