INTRODUCING
OUR 2022/2023 PHOTOGRAPHY COMPETITION
In a separate category altogether, we will also be looking for upand-coming photographers, from complete newbies and novices to folks who have an eye for it, but never thought to give it their best shot. If you’re new to this game, you might want to let us know that you’d like to be considered for this prize, too. We welcome readers to encourage children, students, eager-tolearn first-timers, keen-to-grow amateurs and any budding photographers they meet, to send in their pictures. This is more “phone” than “fancy equipment” photography and about identifying new talent and those with a good eye for creating captivating images.
For the current season of our legendary Getaway photography competition we’re shaking things up a bit. Not to rock the boat, but to stimulate photography’s growth. While we’re still rewarding the very best pictures with incredible prizes, we’ll also be acknowledging creativity in a handful of genre categories.
As always, we’ll continue to seek out the finest wildlife shots in Africa, acting as a platform for the talented photographers who’ve been contributing to our competition for decades. Wildlife will continue to be a focus but we want to share this platform with other photographers, too, and create a space for up-andcoming snappers to share their shots.
Send your entries to gallery@getaway.co.za; find the full rules at getaway.co.za/photo/send-us-your-photos
PICK YOUR GENRE
When entering your pictures, we encourage you to select a category for which you’d like your image to be considered for additional acknowledgement – the choice of category will not affect the selection of our overall main prize winners. Wildlife
Anything from feathers to fangs, our Getaway readers have been producing worldclass wildlife images for more than 30 years.
People and Culture
Documentary photography is a challenging prospect but vital in telling important stories. What story do you want to tell?
Street Photography
We’re looking for grungy, urban expressions of street scenes – hit the tar and show us what you capture.
EMERGING TALENT
Drone and Landscape Photography
With drone photography continuing to grow and the quality of landscape photography in South Africa particularly impressive, this will be the place to see what bangers the local talent is capturing.
Travel and Destinations
Have you been to some distant shores with a camera in hand? Have you travelled to Mongolia in winter, Ireland in summer? If you haven’t travelled afar, don’t be deterred, we’re more interested in the image than the location.
