AMP: Artists' Meeting Place and Resource Collective

Arab photographers, who are based in the region, are invited to apply for Shabab Ayyam Photography Competition.

Organizers Ayyam Gallery hope the initiative will support new artistic talent in the Middle East.

The contest, open to photographers born in or after 1980, requires a proposal for a solo exhibition and 12 photographs via email or in CD form.

The 15 finalists will be featured in an exhibit at The Ayyam Art Center in Dubai on September 13.

The first place winner will be awarded USD$6,500, while USD$2,500 and USD$1,000 prizes will be given to second and third place finalists, respectively.
