THE Herald, in proud partnership with Royal Bank of Scotland, is inviting the country’s photographers to enter their most accomplished work in a new competition which celebrates the launch of a stunning new £10 banknote design.
The new note is the result of the bank’s recent engagement with the public through social media, which saw Mary Somerville being chosen as a clear winner.
This year’s competition theme is “Scotland’s Skies” and by submitting the single best example of their work, entrants have a chance of winning £1,000 in Barrhead Travel vouchers to take the winner to their dream photographic destination. The prize also includes a professional photography lesson with a highly experienced Herald photographer.
Royal Bank of Scotland’s Scottish Board chairman, Malcolm Buchanan, said: “I can’t wait to see the standard of entries coming in over the forthcoming weeks.
“So whether you use a camera phone or an SLR, get snapping and send your photos to royalbanknote@heraldandtimes.co.uk.”
The closing date for entries is September 15 and the best entry will be announced at a drinks reception at the bank’s headquarters at St Andrew’s Square, Edinburgh, with the overall winner’s work then uploaded to Heraldscotland.com for all to appreciate.
To enter, email royalbanknote@heraldandtimes.co.uk with your photo attached, together with your name, age, address and daytime telephone number. The Editor’s decision is final.
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.
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.
That is invaluable.
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
