Orms x Canon ‘Art of Photography’ competition returns to Sea Point Promenade
Twenty winning images will be transformed into large-scale outdoor artworks, with R100,000 in prizes up for grabs.
The Orms x Canon ‘Art of Photography’ competition is set to return to Sea Point Promenade in Cape Town for its seventh edition. This annual event provides South African photographers with the opportunity to showcase their work in one of the city's most iconic public spaces. The competition aims to explore the theme of what constitutes art in photography, asking entrants to demonstrate a clear creative point of view.
Judges will assess submissions based on composition, light, colour, perspective, subject, timing, and editing, across various genres such as portraiture, landscape, still life, architecture, abstract, and conceptual photography. The top three winners will receive substantial prizes, including Canon cameras and lenses, as well as print vouchers.
The exhibition, which has previously featured 120 photographers and awarded over R500,000 in prizes, will display 20 large-scale artworks along the promenade, bringing photography into the public landscape.
