Lima Photo 2011

post from travel tourism about American living in peru abroad in lima visiting peru on 19 April 2011 05:44:00 PM. © travel tourism about American living in peru abroad in lima visiting peru

Just saw this on the internet a few minutes ago. The Lima photo event was started last year apparently and has returned for it's second year along with a photo competition for any interested photographer who would like to enter one of their works. The Spanish oil company Repsol is sponsoring the competition and will be giving away to prizes to the two top finalists. First place offers a prize of $3,500 while second place receives a fairly modest $1,500, all in all not bad for just submitting one of your best photos.

I may just very well be participating in this competition since it would be my first time competing in a photography event. Those of you who are in Peru and are photographers should definitely consider competing in this event. The deadline for submissions is June 15th and must be sent to Centro de la Imagen located on Av. 28 de Julio in Miraflores. If you are interested checkout the rules on their website here.
