The Edinburgh International Festival is inviting applications for the post of Festival Photographer 2015. This opportunity for an emerging photographer, based or studying in Scotland, gives the winner unparalleled backstage access across the Festival to artists, staff, technical set up, rehearsals and events.
The position, which comes with a £3,500 award, allows the photographer to develop contacts with a range of media outlets, artists, venues and agencies throughout the Festival period. The photographer's work is showcased through online galleries on the Festival website and promoted through the Festival's Facebook, Flickr and Instagram presences and an exhibition of work is mounted in the autumn at The Hub, Edinburgh's Festival Centre.
Festival Director Fergus Linehan said: "This is a fantastic opportunity for a new photographer looking to make a name and a career for themselves. Not only do they have an access all areas pass they have the chance to make relationships and grow their profile with a huge range of creative and exciting people, both artists and media, taking part in the Festival.
The Festival is developing a stunning archive of photography through this project and we must thank The Morton Charitable Trust for their commitment and vision in supporting this post."

The birthday of Johann Sebastian Bach, which is March 21, no matter what Wikipedia says, is being marked in Glasgow by an innovative partnership between the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland and Strathclyde Partnership for Transport, the organisation that runs the city's bijou subway train loop. In celebration of the father of classical music reaching the grand old age of 330, students will be playing on the subway throughout that day.
There will be an announcement on the Conservatoire's website nearer the time with details of where to catch the music-making on your journey.

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.Â
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.Â
That is invaluable.Â
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
