Welcome to the CNCF Online Photo Competition
supported by Yellow Pages
Thanks to our generous sponsors, Cayman Islands Yellow Pages, Butterfield, and Cathy Church's Photo Centre - the CNCF Online Photo Competition is back and better than ever! This year, submissions were accepted online from March 18th until the 31st, public voting ran April 8th until the 22nd and winners will be announced Thursday, May 2nd at our 'Photo Talks' event from 5:30pm-7:30pm at the Harquail Studio Theatre.
With twelve (12) categories to choose from from, as well as adult and youth sections, we’re so impressed with the beautiful images submitted illustrating Cayman's diverse community through the art of photography! Each photographer was allowed to enter one (1) photo per category in up to three (3) of the 2013 categories and everyone was welcome to enter a ‘bonus’ photo in the “Colour Me Yellow” category sponsored by the Cayman Islands Yellow Pages. All photographs submitted were taken in the Cayman Islands and photographers were residents of the Cayman Islands.

About the Competition
With more than 1 million photographs shared via the Internet every day, the world of photography is undergoing tremendous change. And so, the CNCF Online Photo Competition is changing as well. This year we’ve opened the competition to youth 17 and under and have invited expert photographers selected for their diverse range of backgrounds and experiences to judge the competition.
Our goal is to foster a growing community of photographers creating images that stand apart through their creativity, their ability to move people and their capacity for communication. The CNCF Online Photo Competition is a forum that brings together people with a passion for photography and an active commitment to bettering their art. Here, photographers of all sorts can acknowledge each other, be stimulated by diverse points of view and thrive through competition.
For us at CNCF, this community is a source of great inspiration as we pursue our goal of stimulating, facilitating and preserving cultural and artistic expression in the Cayman Islands, through projects and exhibitions, like this contest.
We believe in the power of the image to tell stories that can't be told any other way. The CNCF Online Photo Competition is a celebration of that belief and an invitation to you to share your story. We are honoured to have so many of you take part in this year's re-organized, re-energised competition.
