Co-operative Photography Competition 2016

Publish Date: Aug 17, 2016

Deadline: Sep 03, 2016

Making an Impact

Co-op Hot Shots returns for the fifth year running to showcase meaningful moments in our community through photos.

The theme for this year’s competition is “Making an Impact” which focuses on how simple acts of graciousness and cooperation can translate to positive impact that makes a meaningful difference to the lives of people around us.

We are looking for photographers – both experienced and aspiring – to take part in the competition to capture these beautiful moments and share them with the world. Get your cameras out and start snapping!

Anyone can make an impact through the simplest of acts. From giving up your seat on the train to someone who needs it more, to feeding the stray cat which hasn’t had a meal, to caring for someone who is ill – it is these acts which make a world of difference in the lives of those around us.

Making an Impact can be expressed through the 5 co-operative values of Co-operation, Self-help, Equality, Mutual Help, and Care For Others. For this competition, your entry photos should reflect any one of these values.
