Bank of Scotland launches photography competition to seek ‘slice of Scottish life’
The Bank of Scotland has today launched a photography competition to find an image providing a slice of Scottish life, with the entries possibly being used in future adverts.
Called ‘A Slice of Scottish Life’, Bank of Scotland are looking for entries that are ‘genuine, spontaneous moments highlighting the many different aspects of life in Scotland whether that be at home, on holiday, cityscapes or country life.’
The entries must capture a genuine moment of Scottish life, include at least one person, must not concentrate on people’s faces, and have never been published before. The winner will receive £2,000 of multi-media equipment.
Photos should be submitted via the Facebook page by 20 November, where they will then be judged by an expert panel. Judges include professional photographer Matt Stuart; former assistant editor of the Telegraph Media Group Stuart Nicol; and Gordon Laing, communications manager at Blipfoto - and ex deputy editor of The Drum.
Philip Grant, chairman of Lloyds Banking Group’s Scottish Executive Committee, said: “Bank of Scotland is part of the fabric of Scottish society and it is important that we continue to engage with customers and demonstrate an understanding of their needs.
“We hope the Slice of Scottish life competition encourages our customers and non-customers alike to get involved and capture images that they perceive as everyday life in Scotland.”
