Irish Archaeology’s Photograph Competition 2014

The annual Irish Archaeology.ie photo competition is open once more for entries. Last year’s competition was very successfully and we received loads of fantastic images. You can view some of theses photos here, here, here, here and here.  Hopefully the standard will be equally high this year.

The photos submitted should feature archaeological or historical sites and can be from anywhere in the world. The best photos will be shared on our website, facebook and twitter accounts, while the over-all winner will receive a €100 voucher for our shop. There will also be runner-up prizes.

All entries should be e-mailed to colm@irisharchaeologyshop.com. The photographs should be accompanied by a caption and the name of the person who took the picture. The photographer will always retain full Copyright of their image. There is a maximum of three photo entries per person and the closing date for entries is August 24th 2014.
