For all aspiring and established photographers in Qatar on National Day, your photographic skills will be put to the test by entering DFI’s second annual, ‘My National Day’ photo competition. This exciting competition, which is sponsored by SONY ALPHA, is giving local photographers the opportunity to capture the essence of Qatar and the spirit of Qatar’s National Day on Tuesday, 18 December. By entering the competition, participants will get the chance to win state-of-the-art SONY α 24.3Mega Pixel Cameras.

To enter, all you need to do is submit up to five of your best photos capturing Qatar’s National Day celebrations. You can be as creative as you want so don’t restrict yourself to one format. You can experiment with colour, black and white photos, so let your creativity run wild. Entries must not contain any logos, names, branding or other images. Entries that contain branding and/or images that have been altered from their original state using Photoshop or any other editing program will be invalid and will not be considered. Lastly, we do ask that these pictures are original and that you own the rights to all photos submitted.

Once you’ve made your selections, simply log on to https://www.dohafilminstitute.com/your-national-day and submit your entries and have the chance to see your pictures featured on the ‘My National Day’ photo gallery on DFI’s website. The deadline for entry is midday on Thursday, 20 December and all entries will be judged by a panel of established Qatari photographers, Ahmed Al Khulaifi President of Qatar Photographic Society, Khalifa Al Obaidly a Qatari photographer and Faisal Al Thani a Qatari photographer and DFI representative.
