On the occasion of the second “Polar à Drap” crime novel festival, which will take place on September 27 & 28, the cultural service of the municipality of Drap, legally organizes a photography competition.
The theme of the crime novel will leave its fingerprints on the film.
However, the authors of these images will have to adhere to certain conditions.
Indeed, the evidence to be provided will comply with the conditions set by the informants.
Namely:
The submitted photographs must be in black and white, with a maximum size of 2048 x 1536 pixels (A4 print) and must include an element of the Paillon Valley (monuments, roads, characters, signs, etc.) as a clue.
Your “dark” prints will be judged by the deliberation of personalities present at the festival.
Your “sentence” will be to accept a reward worthy of your deed.
The rules and registration form are available on the website of the City of Drap at www.ville-drap.fr or can be picked up at the City Hall.
The deadline for submitting entries is September 15, 2008.
The contest is open to all photographers, both amateur and professional.
