Fujifilm Launches Student Awards 2013

Fujifilm has launched the 2013 student awards.

The 2013 awards are now open for entries. This year's Award is run in conjunction with ChooseFilm.com, the online community dedicated to film photography and Metroprint, the online arm of Metro Imaging, the respected London pro lab.

In a new twist to this year's awards, entries will be open to all students in the UK, not just those undertaking courses involving photography. This decision was taken following several requests from students who are keen photographers but not actually studying photography.

The theme for this year's Award is 'The Colour Of....' with students being briefed to capture an image that that illustrates how colour lights up their world.

All images must be taken on Fujifilm Professional film and submitted via the Fujifilm website. Entry is free and students can enter as many photographs as they wish.

In addition to being named Fujifilm Student Photographer of the Year 2013 the winner will also be presented with £200 worth of film from Fujifilm, a professionally produced folio of prints and a one-to-one printing/consultancy session with one of Metroprint's top printers. The winning image will also feature in an exhibition to be held in London next summer. The college or university that submits the most entries will win £200 worth of Fujifilm Professional film.

2013 marks the 28th anniversary of the competition, making it the longest running and most prestigious student photography awards in the UK. The closing date for the competition is the 29th April 2013.
