Fancy yourself as the Queen of potato portraiture or the sultan of spud snapping? If so, you could enter yourself in the World Potato Congress photo competition.
Photographers who know their King Edward from their Lady Balfour are being called on to send in their best potato images for this year’s competition, sponsored by Mistral PR.
Heather Briggs, senior agriculture sector manager at Mistral PR, said: “Exploring the world of the potato should provide inspiration for eye-catching, thought-provoking and even humorous reflections of life in the potato industry from around the globe.
“Mistral PR supports the idea that talent deserves the opportunity to develop - and World Potato Congress is the ideal arena for budding agricultural photographers to showcase what they can do. We are expecting delegates from all areas of the supply chain in addition to scientists and researchers.”
The best competition photos will be showcased on the World Potato Congress website and at the Congress itself.
The competition categories are:
1.Growing and On the Farm
2.Science, Mechanisation and Machinery
3.People and Potatoes
4.Markets and Customers
5.Challenges and/or Successes
6.The Future
Entries are now being accepted and can be submitted until Monday April 30, 2012.
World Potato Congress 2012, organised by Potato Council, will be based at the Edinburgh International Conference Centre in the heart of the city from May 27 to 30.
