A new photography competition has been launched by Getty Images, with the intention of getting younger people involved in taking expressive snaps.

The age group for the competition is 13 to 18, with the opening date for entries being July 4th and the central theme focusing on issues of Identity and Community.

With the prize on offer to the winner being an internship for a day with a Getty Images photographer, entrants will need to focus on capturing images that are self-reflective in terms of where they live and their personal interaction with their community.

The contest is open until September 15th and photojournalist Tom Stoddart will be among the judges. Mr Stoddart is a renowned photographer who was given access to former prime minister Tony Blair on his election campaign back in 1997.

Founded back in 1995, Getty Images “creates and distributes the world’s best and broadest imagery collections, making them available in the most accessible and usable way - 24 hours a day, every day.”
