Calling all Dutch Photographers!

Written on Tuesday 11.05.2010 09:21 AM By: Red Bull Illume

The Red Bull 5 Pics is calling all photographers in the Netherlands to submit photos to the country's top photography talent search.

Participants are invited to enter a series of five images via www.redbull5pics.nl before June 1 and the winning shots will be exhibited at the Foam Photography Museum on June 11.

This is Red Bull 5 Pics third edition and more than 300 photos have been uploaded to the site. As well as having their images on display, the winner will join Dutch Red Bull Photofiles photographer Rutger Pauw during a national Red Bull event where they can share knowledge and experience.

After uploading, the photographers share their photos via the 5 Pics Facebook application where visitors and fans rate the images. The ten series with the most votes are judged by a jury of professional photographers who pick a winner.

Red Bull 5 Pics recently put on three 'safaris' in Amsterdam to aid and inspire photographers in the Netherlands to enter the competition. Photographers were given maps with a route to walk and themes to photograph. Lectures and workshops followed, attracting hundreds of budding photographers.
