Photography Competition: Have your photography displayed at the Great North Museum - and win £500 of photography equipment

10 April 2012

Newcastle University is at the leading edge of research into ageing. In partnership with Amateur Photographer Magazine, they are looking for images that bring fresh insight into an essential aspect of life: age and the ageing process.

The Evening Standard winner will receive £500 of photography equipment, have their image displayed at the Great North Museum's Coming of Age' exhibition in January and be judged in a grand prize competition for the chance of winning an additional £500 cash prize.
