    • Tell them about yourself, your passions, why you love photography, what drives you to take a better shot, where you would like to go with your photography etc. Help them form a picture in their mind of you as a person with your text.
  • Complete the application form including your personal details along with uploading your photos;
  • Once you apply, you will not be able to go back and edit your application, so please make sure you are completely satisfied with your essay before you hit the submit button. Each image must be 1MB or under in size. If you’re image is a larger size, you will need to reduce the image size before you commence your application.
