Competition – Head On ‘Mobile’ Awards 2014 – Open For Entries!
The Head On Awards 2014 are now open for entries and this year they have included a special mobile photography category – entitled ‘Head on Mobile’. You may submit up to 3 works in each category – Portrait, Landscape, Mobile, Multimedia (total of 12 entries). Prizes will be awarded for the best 3 images. The selection of images will be done anonymously based on the power of the photograph rather than the celebrity of the subject or photographer. Images must be produced by a mobile phone camera in colour and/or black & white. You may enhance the image and apply filters.
Three images will be awarded prizes and exhibited prints of those images will be retained by Head On and added to “Head On Collection” which contains the winners of Head On Awards.
