Youth Justice Agency invites young photographers to "Get Snapping"

Last year's competition winner Karolina Urbanska

Following the success of last year's competition the Agency is giving young people another opportunity to express their ideas about how to reduce youth crime. Entrants are being asked to capture the following theme in a photographic image or montage:

• RESPECT- What it means to me

The competition will be divided into two distinct age categories for young people aged 10 to 13 and 14 to 17 years. The closing date for the entries is 12 February 2010.

Regional prizes will be awarded to winners in each age group from each county across Northern Ireland. Prizes of digital cameras, courtesy of the Co-operative Membership, will be presented to individual winners along with vouchers for their school or club. One lucky overall winner will also be given the opportunity to experience a professional photoshoot courtesy of award winning photographers Harrison Photography.

All winners accompanied by their parents/guardians and a representative from their school or club will also be invited to a prize giving ceremony in Hillsborough Castle in Spring 2010.

Full details of the competition and how to enter can be found on the Agency website www.youthjusticeagencyni.gov.uk.
