BBC Launches Photo Contest for Generation Next

by Staff Writer

The British Broadcasting Corporation has launched a photography contest for young people below 19 years of age as part of a new BBC season called Generation Next.

“We want to see your pictures of how you spend your leisure time: sport, music, you name it, just grab your camera and take a snap,� the BBC said.

The photo contest is divided into two sets: one for those 13 years or younger and the other for 14 to 18 years old as of November 30, 2006 which is also the last day for submission of entries.

The BBC will choose the 12 best photos of each group and post them in the picture gallery of the BBC News website in early December. Readers will then have 48 hours in which to vote for their favorite.

The two top winners in both age groups will each get a Nikon D50 digital SLR camera while the second placers will win a Nikon S9 Coolpix camera.

Details are available at the BBC News. (chrismalinao)
