Is photography your passion? Are you interested in film photography and printing in the darkroom? Are you 16\u201320 years old?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Finnish Darkroom Association<\/b> and the Finnish Museum of Photography<\/b> organise a photography competition for young people in March 2022. Organised for the first time, the Young Photographer Award is part of the Helsinki Darkroom Festival’s<\/b> program. The competition is open to all photographers aged 16\u201320 and living in Finland. Participation in the competition happens with a digital portfolio consisting of\u00a0 ten photographs, which can consist of photographs created using analogue or digital methods.<\/p>\n

Aims and awards<\/b><\/p>\n

The aim of the Young Photographer Award is to inspire young people to expand their photographic expression. The competition grants its finalists the opportunity to develop technical skills and try out different analog photography techniques. The\u00a0 jury will select three finalists, each of whom will be awarded with film cameras and films provided by our partners. In addition, the finalists will receive an optional course organised by the Finnish Darkroom Association at the M\u00f6rk darkroom in Helsinki. One winner will be selected from the three finalists. The winner will be awarded with the Young Photographer Award Certificate. The works of the finalists will be published on the social media channels of the Finnish Museum of Photography and the Finnish Darkroom Association (Facebook, Instagram and TikTok).<\/p>\n

Jury<\/b><\/p>\n

The judges of the competition are Elina Heikka<\/b>, director of the Finnish Museum of Photography, Natalia Kopkina<\/b>, photographer and artistic director of the Helsinki Darkroom Festival, and photographer Milja Laakso<\/b> from the Photofuss youth group at the Finnish Museum of Photography. The jury evaluates the portfolios on the basis of the totality. The ten photographs in the portfolio do not have to be from a single series, but the jury hopes the images are qualitatively consistent. The jury encourages applicants to present their works with courage, originality and clear expression of their own views.<\/p>\n
