Visit Herefordshire is looking to appoint their first-ever resident festivals photographer for Herefordshire this summer.

“A keen photographer with a good eye for capturing the atmosphere of events and showcasing the county of Herefordshire at its most vibrant” could be chosen to take on this enthralling new role and receive free tickets to attend some of Herefordshire’s most exciting events, including Linton Festival, Ledbury Poetry Festival and the Hereford Indie Food Festival to name a few.

The lucky amateur photographer will also receive £1,000 for expenses on top of the free event tickets.

In return, Visit Herefordshire is looking for someone to supply a wide selection of photography (and ideally some videography), to be used for their photographic library, in order to “promote our county through printed media, social media and our online presence.”

What are the requirements?

  • You must be available to attend a selection of events throughout the summer, starting from late June through to late September
  • At least 18 years old and have their own Public Liability Insurance
  • Able to provide a minimum of ten fully captioned photos from each of the Herefordshire events (at least six) in both landscape and portrait orientation and must include the Visit Herefordshire ‘Summer of Fun’ Festival (across multiple locations) in late August
  • Willing to capture the county’s best events, while showcasing events in the context of the location first and foremost, instead of close-up details.

If you are an avid photographer with a passion for Herefordshire and this summer’s incredible events, then why not apply?

All you need to do is email info@herefordshirecountybid.co.uk by 5pm on June 15 with three examples of your recent photography (best demonstrating your photographic style), up to 150 words on why you would love to be Herefordshire’s resident festivals photographer, and finally your name, address, email and contact number.

The winning photographer will be notified within a week of the competition’s closure.
