Terry O’Neill Tag Award shortlist has now been selected. Hotshoe Gallery : 8th-16th December Private View 8th December from 6-9pm Prizes and announcements 7:30pm Metro and Metroprint are proud to announce the 2011 The Terry O'Neill Award shortlisted entrants. The Award is a contemporary international photographic competition founded in 2007 as a platform for new and upcoming talent . The Award is open to photographers over the age of 18 across a wide spectrum of genres including fine-art, documentary and landscape photography. The Award is based around the series, and the narrative within that series. Thanks to the support of TAG Creative, Hotshoe, The Sunday Times Spectrum Magazine, Remote New Media and Metro Imaging, and all of the photographers who have submitted their work over the past five years, the Terry O'Neill TAG Award, has grown from a small online competition to one of the industry's hottest prizes, bringing new photographers and their work to a wider audience. The Award was founded in honour of noted photographer Terry O'Neill one of the UK's best known photographers. Terry O'Neill says of the award "The breadth and depth of entries this year was truly inspirational - not only in their quality and quantity but also their diversity. Photographers from all corners of the globe entered a breath-taking range of images that were both provoking and insightful." Thanks is due to our formidable judges who battled it out in the judging room, and to all the judges over the past few years, who have contributed to this Award to give it the integrity it holds. The judging process is hard, and it is the majority vote that brings the winners to the fore. Again, this year, the standard of entries was outstanding, and some of the toughest decisions had to be made. Lisa Creagh, (judge) commented "The Terry O'Neill/TAG Award is always a very progressive and open minded competition, so it's not a surprise that the work entered was so amazingly diverse. We saw some truly innovative and moving projects and selecting the final ten was a struggle. For those artists who didn't get shortlisted, it's important to know that we all looked through everything and between us selected seventy - all of whom could have been in the final ten. So the final ten is an amalgamation of several people's tastes. There were another 60 who could just as easily have won. I think that says a lot for the competition and the quality of entrants." The judges, all of whom were selected for their high standing in the industry, met at TAG Creative's office in Beak Street in early November. They each bought their nominations to the judging table as well their powers of persuasion.
