Photographic Competition for the 2011 Vogalonga Poster

The Committee would like to invite all amateur photographers enrolled in the 36th Vogalonga and members of the public to take part in the photographic competition Manifesto Vogalonga 2011.

Photographs should focus on significant scenes and images related to the world of the Vogalonga, the rowers, boats and the landscapes, in line with the spirit of the event, as expressed by the Committee.

The Vogalonga is an act of love for Venice and its waters, for its lagoon and its islands, for rowing and the boats. Since its inception, the Vogalonga has retained its original purpose: to disseminate knowledge, awareness and respect for the essence and culture of our city.

All photographs entered will be checked by the Committee for suitability in terms of the aims and criteria of the competition, then posted on the official Vogalonga web site where they can be voted for online by internet users, after registration.

The photographs will also be on display - at a time and place to be decided - in a special video installation where they can be voted for by means of a printed card.

Voting will close on 1 October 2010.

The 10 photographs that receive the highest number of votes will be announced at an award ceremony in October and put on display by the Committee in a place to be decided.

The single winning photograph will be selected with the help of a jury made up of two Committee members, professional photographer Marc De Tollenaere and journalist Sebastiano Giorgi.

The announcement of the winning photograph will be made in early May 2011 and the image used for the poster of the 2011 Vogalonga.

All voting results will be published on the web site www.vogalonga.com, and winners will receive notice at the personal e-mail address they gave on registration.
