What's this aboot?

Scran is heading to its 20th year. Periodically, it has run a national photography competition. We thought that, as this is a momentous year for Scotland, it would be a stoatin' idea to run another National School Student Photography Competition. 

Prizes

Competitions mean prizes.  And there are braw prizes.  There are three sections: Primary, Secondary and ASN and each section winner will win one of Apple's latest iPads.  In addition, there will be an overall winner who will win a set of 10 iPads for his or her school. The runner up will win 5.

There will be a range of further runner up prizes which will include photo books.

Theme

Competitions need themes and this year's theme will be "What Scotland means to me." So think widely and creatively.  In past years the overall winner had a pawky eye, a gallus vision and a canny control of the shutter. 

Remember we are Scran - we like odds and ends and bits and pieces and stuff.  

How do I enter?

We'll be sending out leaflets and posters to all schools soon. Or, you can just get stuck in, take a photo and upload it here.  The entry form is very simple.  Remember to get a Teacher's details for the form so that your school benefits if you win.  Upload your Entry here.

Is it Digital?

Syne out your mouth.  Of course.  And your entry will be uploaded here on site. We want good yins though.  

Any Rules?

Your picture must be at least 6 megapixels. You need to get a teacher to put his or her name on your entry form plus the address of the school so your school can win the set of iPads if you are successful.

We'd like to keep your pix on Scran with your permission.  So the entry form will ask you to give us permission to use your photo. However, we will always note that the pic is your copyright and you are free to do whatever you want with your photo. The decision of the judges is final.  Scran staff and volunteers may not enter the competition.

The closing date is 31.10.14
