Time for a new Argentina Independent Photography Competition! This time the theme is very personal: My Buenos Aires.

Whatever the city may mean to you, grab your camera,search your archive and show us with your best photograph. We are asking contestants to send us their best shot of “My Buenos Aires” by 31st May. The image should be something that works as your interpretation of the sprawling metropolis that is Argentina’s capital, from the faces to the places, everyday life to specific moments.

The Indy’s photography team will then select the ten best images and the final judgement will go over to you, our readers, to vote via facebook during a ten-day period.

All the finalists will have their photograph printed and displayed at the next Underground Market on 15th June. And the winner can show a bit more of their work as they will have the chance to have their own ‘Indy Eye‘ published here on our website, showcasing a dozen of their favourite shots.

Now for the rules:

Photographs may be taken on any type of camera but must have been taken in Buenos Aires.

Only one entry may be submitted per person and it must be accompanied by your full name and one line caption, giving background on the image – where and when it was taken, and what is being captured.

Size your image to a maximum of 1024 pixels on the longest side before sending.

The image entered and all rights to it must be your own. In submitting your photograph, you agree to The Argentina Independent’s non-exclusive use of your image on our website, newsletter and associated printed press.

You maintain full copyright to your photograph and, where used by The Argentina Independent, the photograph will be credited to you as the photographer, with a link to your online portfolio where applicable.

To enter, please email your photograph to competitions@argentinaindependent.com by 31st May.

We are calling for entries for our new photography competition, with the winner’s image appearing in our first print edition, due out in June. Sponsored by Patagonia Outdoor Clothing, we are asking contestants to send us their best shot of Patagonia by 20th May.

Beatrice Murch, The Indy’s head of photography, will then select the ten best images and the final judgement will go over to you, our readers, to vote via facebook during a two-week period.

The ten finalists will be invited to join our professional team of photographers in showing their photos at our next gallery night, due to take place in San Telmo mid-June.

Photographs may be taken on any type of camera but must have been taken in Argentine or Chilean Patagonia.
