The ‘Images of Rural Europe’ initiative aims to promote and celebrate rural development in Europe. The competition will involve the collection of diverse range photos which reflect rural life in Europe today – the winning entries of which will be displayed at a major exhibition at the prestigious Berlaymont building, in Brussels from 22 June to 10 July, 2012. In addition, winning photographers and Local Action Groups (LAGs) will be invited to attend a high profile awards ceremony, in the presence of the Commissioner for Agriculture and Rural Development Dacian Cioloş, on 27 June, 2012.
Taking part couldn’t be simpler! The Images of Rural Europe photo competition is open to all professional and amateur photographers who are resident in any of the EU Member States. Each entrant may submit as many photos as s/he wishes but only Local Action Groups (LAGs) Leitrim Development Co. in the case of Leitrim will be allowed to upload pictures via the dedicated website www.ruralimages.eu. Leitrim Development Co. would strongly encourage you to consider submitting photos from Co. Leitrim (focusing on the people, communities, events or places etc see attached) to them and they will organise at local level to select a number of pictures from Leitrim to be submitted to the Images of Rural Europe exhibition.
Leitrim Development Co. would hope to consider any and all photographs submitted to them on or before Friday 4th May 2012. We will then submit the selected photos by the deadline for the 18th to the ENRD in Brussels.
