Photography is often touted as one of the best ways to capture a moment or document an event.
Now, young people in the south-west are being encouraged to take up photography as a hobby in the form of a new competition, thisisbristol.co.uk reported.
Individuals aged 19 and under are eligible to take part in the contest, with the winning images to be displayed during May’s Bristol Festival of Photography.
Participants are divided into different age categories – the under fives, five to 11, 11 to 14, 14 to 16 and 16 to 19.
There is no limit to a photographer’s subject, so young people can really be creative about their image choices.
Luckily, there is no shortage of things to photograph in the city. From the Clifton suspension bridge to the SS Great Britain, there are a number of subjects to catch a budding photographer’s eye.
This year will see the first Bristol Festival of Photography, with the event taking place between May 20th and June 9th.
