Photographic Competition

The Vampire Preservation Group’s annual competition to find the best photograph of WZ507 is back! As before, the prize for the winning photographer is a free flight in WZ507, so send us your best pictures and you could be joining us for the experience of a lifetime!

Due to the engine change during 2011, we have been unable to attend all our planned displays and consequently there have not been many opportunities for photographers to capture WZ507 in flight. We have therefore decided to extend the closing date for this competition until November 2013, to hopefully give many more people the chance to submit a competition entry.

Here are some of the entries received so far.

1) All photographs must be taken between 27th March 2011 and 10th November 2013.

2) You must own the copyright on the photograph - i.e. you must be the photographer.

3) Any photograph submitted to the VPG may be published on this website but you will still retain the copyright. With your permission, we may also use your photograph on other promotional material.

4) Photographs must not include a watermark or other identifying feature, as this could indicate the identity of the photographer to the judges. For this reason, photographs appearing on this website will not be credited to the photographer.

5) The resolution of any submitted photograph should be as high as possible – this will help the judges to determine the winning photograph, based upon quality and composition. As a guide, we are expecting a minimum resolution of 2400 x 1600 pixels. Pictures must be cropped into a 3:2 ratio (landscape) and submitted as a jpeg file. Please use your name as the file name for each picture, e.g. johnsmith1.jpg; johnsmith2.jpg, etc.

6) To submit a photograph, please use the Contact Us page on this website, attaching your image to the e-mail. Entries will not be acknowledged, but short-listed photographs will appear above during scheduled updates.

7) Results will be announced on Sunday 24th November 2013.

8) The winner will also be notified via e-mail; they will have 12 months to arrange to their flight in WZ507 at a mutually convenient time.

9) All photographs will be judged by an independent panel. The judges’ decision is final.

Good luck, we look forward to seeing your photos!
