Hello, I am writing to make you aware of SHOOT NATIONS 2007, a free Global Youth Photography & Drawing Competition for 11-24 year olds, and to ask if you could kindly spread the word of the project to your network. Winning images will be showcased at the UNITED NATIONS international headquarters in New York, for International Youth Day on 12th August and the exhibition will travel to five other countries around the world - so this is an exciting chance for participants to become an internationally exhibited artist! Judges will include professional photographers & cultural 'bigwigs'. Prizes include a digital SLR camera worth £1,000 and more! Working in association with Plan UK and Tate Modern, our aim is to help promote the voice of young people around the world, and provide them with a genuine un-biased opportunity to be heard on a global level. The theme of the competition is GOVERNANCE (more 'youth friendly' information on the meaning on governance can be found at www.shootnations.org/main/governance) and we are keen to receive a broad range of submissions - we are aware that you have a strong photography movement, and would like it to be represented in the competition. Photos must be scanned and submitted as a JPEG by Friday, 20th July 2007. Interested people can sign up at: We believe that this is a truly fantastic opportunity for young people in many ways, so please feel free to email me if you have any questions. Please find a press pack and photos here - http://www.shootnations.org/presspacks I've attached last two of last year's winning photos, for your information. We look forward to hearing from you! Kind Regards Brett Jefferson Stott DIRECTOR - The Shoot Experience Team SHOOT NATIONS - A global photography competition for young people aged 11 to 24.
