Focus Environment
Focus Environment is a national photography competition open to Scotland's secondary school pupils and is organised by Chevron Upstream Europe in partnership with BTCV Scotland and the Scottish Wildlife Trust.
The competition stimulates an array of bold and beautiful images from some of Scotland's best creative young talent. Whether as a contribution to art studies, earth sciences or as an extracurricular activity, this can be an exciting and enjoyable project for both pupils and schools.
Competition Details
Focus Environment has two age groups, 11-14 years and 15-18 years, with three subject categories:
- Nature's Moods
- Wildlife and Habitats
- My Environment
Pupils can enter any or all of the categories with the aim of interpreting them as creatively as possible - from spectacular sunsets or close ups of wildlife, to graffiti on walls - even 'ugly' subjects can be powerful images.
Focus Environment has substantial prize money of over £5,000 with individual category winners receiving £250, and an equal amount going to their school.
2008 Entries
Each year the best Focus Environment entries form a touring exhibition that visits selected venues and provides an opportunity for the winners' work to be seen by people throughout the country. You can find out the tour schedule and see the winning entries online here.
