對(duì)攝影師來說，贏得重大的攝影獎(jiǎng)項(xiàng)意味著職業(yè)發(fā)展進(jìn)入了快速通道，意味著他們的作品有機(jī)會(huì)被業(yè)界領(lǐng)袖關(guān)注。

泰瑞奧尼爾攝影大賽今年已經(jīng)進(jìn)入第八個(gè)年頭，是公認(rèn)的世界上最頂級(jí)的攝影賽事之一，每年都吸引了數(shù)千位的報(bào)名者參加。今年，該賽事在創(chuàng)新性、參與性和獎(jiǎng)品設(shè)置方面都達(dá)到了一個(gè)新的高度，將為獲獎(jiǎng)?wù)咛峁┢渌麛z影賽事所無法企及的參與公關(guān)活動(dòng)和宣傳的機(jī)會(huì)。

在英國(guó)皇家攝影協(xié)會(huì)的贊助下，我們啟動(dòng)了全新的官網(wǎng)，并增加了移動(dòng)終端類攝影作品獎(jiǎng)。我們從藝術(shù)和傳媒界挑選杰出的代表人物組成新一屆的評(píng)委會(huì)，并啟動(dòng)了全球宣傳，以吸引從柏林到北京的參賽者。

獲獎(jiǎng)作品將參加在倫敦和海外地區(qū)舉行的泰瑞?奧尼爾作品展，并接受《星期日泰晤士報(bào)雜志》的專訪。獎(jiǎng)金總額為6500英鎊，包括一等獎(jiǎng)獎(jiǎng)金3000英鎊、二等獎(jiǎng)2000英鎊和三等獎(jiǎng)1000英鎊。移動(dòng)終端類攝影作品獎(jiǎng)的獲勝者將贏得500英鎊的獎(jiǎng)金。

今年的評(píng)委會(huì)由來自電影業(yè)、廣告業(yè)、全球圖像重現(xiàn)、出版業(yè)、學(xué)術(shù)界和英國(guó)皇家攝影協(xié)會(huì)的杰出代表組成，其中包括：

? 泰瑞?奧尼爾

? 主席：?jiǎn)潭?瓊斯，《星期日泰晤士報(bào)雜志》攝影總監(jiān)

? 普特南勛爵，電影制作人、廣告業(yè)先驅(qū)

? 埃丹?沙利文，蓋蒂圖像有限公司副總裁

? 尼納?伯曼，紐約哥倫比亞大學(xué)副教授

? 邁克爾?普里查德博士，英國(guó)皇家攝影協(xié)會(huì)總干事

? 波比?巴克-巴羅斯，時(shí)代生活叢書編輯部攝影總監(jiān)

? 維多利亞?布洛克斯，維多利亞與阿爾伯特博物館（大衛(wèi)?鮑伊個(gè)人收藏展策展人）

? 羅西?阿諾德，百比赫廣告公司執(zhí)行創(chuàng)意副總監(jiān)

邁克爾?普里查德博士表示：

英國(guó)皇家攝影協(xié)會(huì)很高興能贊助泰瑞奧尼爾攝影大賽，特別是移動(dòng)終端類攝影作品獎(jiǎng)。我們認(rèn)為不同的拍攝方式?jīng)]有高下之分，也支持通過新技術(shù)讓更年輕的群體能夠接觸攝影，使攝影變得更大眾化、更有即時(shí)性。該獎(jiǎng)項(xiàng)開創(chuàng)了新的局面，在眾多攝影比賽中別出心裁，令人耳目一新——這也是我們所歡迎和支持的。

半個(gè)多世紀(jì)以來，泰瑞?奧尼爾一直以拍攝名人肖像聞名于世，他所拍攝過的名人包括碧姬?芭鐸、弗蘭克?辛納屈、披頭士、滾石樂隊(duì)，還有最近剛拍攝的納爾遜?曼德拉和已故的艾米?懷恩豪斯。

泰瑞?奧尼爾表示：

泰瑞奧尼爾攝影大賽旨在挖掘攝影新秀，展出并發(fā)表他們的作品。

在喧囂嘈雜、競(jìng)爭(zhēng)激烈的今天，即使是最閃亮、最有才華的攝影新星也很容易被埋沒。一般攝影比賽的參賽費(fèi)用可高達(dá)50英鎊，普通的攝影專業(yè)的學(xué)生又怎能負(fù)擔(dān)得起？泰瑞奧尼爾攝影大賽將學(xué)生的報(bào)名費(fèi)降為10英鎊，為攝影專業(yè)的學(xué)生提供了一個(gè)和職業(yè)攝影師公平競(jìng)爭(zhēng)的平臺(tái)。相比之下，許多攝影賽事并不為學(xué)生群體提供優(yōu)惠，即使有優(yōu)惠，它們高額的報(bào)名費(fèi)仍讓學(xué)生望而卻步。

請(qǐng)閱讀比賽規(guī)則，并登錄官網(wǎng)了解更多報(bào)名信息。

Terry O’Neill Photography Awards Go Global and Mobile

A major photography award can set photographers’ careers on the fast track, introducing their work to leading figures in the industry.

The Terry O’Neill Photography Award is in its 8th year and is recognised as one of the world’s leading photographic awards attracting thousands of entries each year. This year we are taking the Award to the next level to make it the most innovative, accessible and valuable photography prize, providing the winners and runners-ups with levels of PR and publicity that set a new benchmark for other photography awards.

The Award launches with a fresh website and a mobile device category sponsored by The Royal Photographic Society. A new distinguished panel of judges from the arts and media are backed by an international publicity campaign to attract entries from Berlin to Beijing.

The winners will have their work showcased in Terry O’Neill exhibitions in London and overseas and will be featured in the Sunday Times Magazine. ￡6500 of cash prizes can be won. The winner will receive ￡3000 and two runners-up ￡2000 and ￡1000 respectively. The winner of the mobile device category wins ￡500.

Deadline for entries is 30 November 2013: images must have been shot between 1 January and 30 November 2013. Standard cost of entry is ￡25 for a minimum of 3 and up to a maximum of 10 images. Student cost is just ￡10.

The line-up of judges this year introduces Award entrants’ work to a distinguished panel of figures from film, advertising, global image reproduction, publishing, academia and the Royal Society of Photography. The judges are

? Terry O’Neill

? Chair: Jon Jones, Director of Photography, Sunday Times Magazine

? Lord Puttnam, film-maker and advertising industry pioneer

? Aidan Sullivan, VP, Getty Images,

? Nina Berman, Associate Professor Columbia University, New York

? Dr Michael Pritchard, Director-General, Royal Photography Society,

? Bobbi Baker-Burrows, Director of Photography, Time-Life Books

? Victoria Broackes, Victoria and Albert Museum (Curator of the David Bowie Exhibition)

? Rosie Arnold, Deputy Executive Creative Director, Bartle, BogleHegarty Advertising

Dr Michael Pritchard says:

The Royal Photographic Society is delighted to sponsor The Terry O’Neill Award and specifically the category for mobile devices. The Society doesn’t discriminate between different methods of taking pictures and supports new technologies that bring photography to a younger audience making photography more accessible and spontaneous. This Award breaks new ground and adds a fresh and exciting dimension to the photography Award arena - something we welcome and support.

Terry O’Neill is famous for photographing the frontline of fame for more than half a century, snapping icons such as Bridget Bardot, Frank Sinatra, The Beatles and The Rolling Stones, and most recently Nelson Mandela and the late Amy Winehouse.

Terry O’Neill says:

The Award is designed to give brave new talent a springboard to recognition and success and the chance to be exhibited and published.

Today there is so much background noise and competition the brightest and best new photographers can easily go unrecognised. But as a photography student how do you afford Award entry fees that can be as high as ￡50? This Award provides a level playing field to professional and student photographers alike, offering a reduced entry fee of just ￡10. Many Awards do not offer a discount to students and where they do the cost can still be prohibitive.
