SUBMISSION DEADLINE 

20th AUGUST 2010

Mike McCartney (who will be chair of the judging panel) helped to launch this second major competition entitled 'Cathedral2Cathedral' during his own ‘In Conversation With,’ show which took place at the Cathedral on April 23rd.

"I am chuffed to have been asked to chair the panel of judges for the ‘Cathedral2Cathedral’ competition,” said Mike. “It is wonderful that the competition is being launched at an event where I will be talking about my own passion for photography and how Liverpool has inspired me. Liverpool as a subject offers such variety and richness for photographers – it really is the pool of life.”

Eryl Parry, Director of Enterprise for Liverpool's Anglican Cathedral said, “Last year’s photographic competition, which had the theme ‘My Cathedral’ and was based on the Anglican Cathedral, was a huge success. We had such interest that we have decided to join up with our partners on Hope Street to increase the scope of the competition even further. We are particularly pleased to have someone of Mike McCartney’s standing as a photographer to chair our judging panel and of course to be working with our partners along Hope Street.”

This year, in order to inspire budding photographers from July 26th the Cathedral is also to host a free exhibition 'Hardman's Hope'  with images of the Hope Street area taken by E. Chambré Hardman and a ‘hands on’ display of vintage camera equipment, courtesy of the National Trust’s Mr Hardman’s Rodney Street Photographic Studio.

All shortlisted entries will be shown digitally in venues across the Hope Street area.

There are superb prizes! Competition prizes will include hotel stays, theatre tickets and meals, vouchers for photographic equipment and a masterclass with award-winning photographer Martin Birchall.
