Last year’s winning entry in the photography competition, Liquid Therapy by Darragh Gorman
Amateur photographers, or those with a keen eye for that perfect picture, are being invited to take part in a photography competition which aims to celebrate volunteers in Donegal.
Donegal Volunteer Centre and Donegal County Museum have launched the annual Volunteering in the Community Photography Competition and it’s now open for entry.
They are inviting amateur photographers to submit images of volunteers at work anywhere within County Donegal.
"The Volunteering in the Community Photography Competition is an opportunity to express our thanks to our volunteers more formally. It also gives us a chance to showcase and celebrate the valuable work they do across the county," said John Curran, Manager of Donegal Volunteer Centre.
In addition to the overall prize, Donegal County Museum has created the 'Volunteering in Heritage - the John McDermott Memorial Award'.
"Donegal County Museum created this award in memory of the late John McDermot. As a volunteer, John spent years photographing archaeological and historic sites across the county, many of which have become part of the John McDermott Collection in Donegal County Museum," said Caroline Carr, Donegal County Museum.
All the entries will be displayed in an exhibition as part of Culture Night in the County Museum, opening on Friday, September 23. Finalists will also be invited to the prize-giving event in Donegal County Museum during Social Inclusion Week in early October.
All photographs submitted must show volunteers in action, belong to the entrants and have been taken in County Donegal between January 1, 2021 to the closing date of August 19.
The Volunteering in Action competition prizes includes a €400 Shop LK voucher for the overall winner, with two €50 runners-up vouchers. The Volunteering in Heritage - the John McDermott Memorial Award prize is a €100 voucher for Magee's Photo Lab.
Entry to the competition is free but is limited to one entry per category per person and must include all required information. Full competition details are available on
www.volunteerdonegal.ie and https://www.donegalcoco.ie/culture/countymuseum/projects/
