Judging

Metro Imaging

Description

Metro Imaging is offering one female photographer the opportunity to receive a 12-month tailored mentorship with Metro Imaging.

Twenty shortlisted applicants will receive a free place at the Close Up: Women in Photo event on Tuesday 14 October 6.30pm-9pm. The winner of this brief will be announced at the event. 

Close Up: Women in Photo is an event devoted to discussing the photography industry from a female perspective and will consist of… 

  • Talks: Anna Fox, Jane Hilton and Jenny Matthews will individually talk for 10-15 minutes on a ‘hot topic’ for female photographers. There will be a five-minute Q&A after each talk.
  • Discussion: The three speakers plus Rosa Harvest (MiAL) and Shoair Mavlain (Tate Modern) will then discuss/debate the topic of “Photojournalism and the old boys club; do we still experience everyday sexism.” This will be followed by an audience Q&A.
  • Networking: An hour of networking and chat over refreshments

The judges are looking for female photographers who have a unique body of work, strong potential and a hunger to succeed in the industry but need guidance.

This brief closes on Friday 3 October 2014 at 5pm BST and is open to IdeasTap members aged 16 and over. Late entries will not be accepted under any circumstances, including technical issues – so make sure you don’t leave your application to the last minute.

  • Hello, just wanted to check if this applies for photographers outside London too? How would the mentoring work for them? I would like to apply, but not sure if travel from as far as Glasgow would be covered?
    Many thanks,
    Kotryna

  • HI there I've applied for this already, received an email saying 'thanks for applying' etc - and now when I've checked this again it has the option for me to still apply... I also received another email reminding me to apply recently. I've emailed IdeasTap HQ and haven't heard anything yet - can you please confirm what's happening? Many thanks!

    • The "Apply now" button will still appear, even once you've applied. Similarly, when we send a deadline reminder, all brief followers (included those who have already applied) will receive it.
      So don't worry - you can check whether you've responded to a brief by a) looking for your name on the list of brief responses and b) checking your IdeasTap profile activity feed.

      Thanks!

  • Hello,

    1) is there a guideline as to how many photographs to upload as supporting material?

    2) do they all have to be from same project or can they showcase a range of projects?

    Many thanks!

    • 1) There isn't a guideline number, however, please bear in mind that the judges will be assessing a lot of applications, and so we recommend uploading a smaller number of your best photographs.

      2) Either is fine.
