Photographic tea competition

Students studying media/photographic courses have a great excuse to sit down with a cup of tea over the next few months as the sixth annual Tetley Student Photographic competition begins in earnest. In association with Nikon and www.ephotozine.com, the competition challenges students to capture an image that demonstrates creativity and imagination, under the premise that �Tea is Brilliant�. Prizes include the very latest Nikon D300 SLR Digital camera, for both the student as well as the winning college/university, in addition to a number of other cash rewards and cameras.

Full briefs and entry details can be found at www.ephotozine.com/tetley where students can also enter online. Lecturers requiring an entry pack for their students should email: kevin@rlpltd.co.uk.

In the UK we drink over 150 million cups of tea everyday. It�s enjoyed by over 90% of the population and is referred to in poetry, literature and song. Peter Haigh, Brand Development Manager at Tetley explains the reasons behind the competition: �Tea is one of those drinks that is almost taken for granted, but when you think about it, it is like a close friend which we turn to at times of crisis to give us a lift and a cuddle. Not only that tea has the amazing benefit of being able to warm us when we are cold and cool us when we are hot. In our eyes, Tea is Brilliant, and in the sixth annual student photographic competition, we challenge students to highlight this in photographic form. The aim of the competition is to get students to think a little more about something they probably drink 2 or 3 times a day, without giving it a second thought.�

Jenny Grace, Press and PR Executive at Nikon UK commented: �We are delighted to be involved in the competition which actively supports the student market and continues Nikon�s commitment to investing in young talent.�
