Young Photographers Competition ‘First Impression’ shots Directory 2011

Check out these photographs from the shots Directory – the leading online photo resource for the world’s ad agencies

The shots Directory is a comprehensive guide to the world’s advertising agencies, production companies, directors, creatives and facilities companies servicing the film and broadcast commercial industries. It is published annually by shots, the leading online resource for the world’s advertising community. It also promotes the best in print advertising and has an ongoing commitment to support emerging creative talent.

Each year, the Directory hosts an international Young Photographers Competition, for which photography students are invited to submit work. With all submissions based on a chosen theme, finalists’ work is showcased in the Directory.

We are now inviting entries from photography students studying degree-level courses around the world.

Up to 60 entrants will be selected to have a sequence of work included in the shots Directory 2010, along with their contact and college details.

Of these, ten outstanding entries will be chosen for extended coverage in the book. Four exemplary photographers will, in addition, be profiled, and the overall winner will have his or her work featured on the cover. The winner will also receive a cash prize of £500.

Published in December 2010, the shots Directory is highly respected and used every day by the world’s leading creative companies and advertising agencies. This provides finalists outstanding exposure to senior creatives, art directors, art buyers and commissioners throughout the year.

Up to 60 finalists will be featured in the Directory, from which ten outstanding entries will be chosen for extended coverage. This includes three runners-up and one eventual winner, who will each be profiled in the book. In addition, one image from the overall’s winner’s entry will be used for the Directory’s cover.
