The Cyprus Photographic Society is not slowing down one bit with its Months Of Photography Paphos program! Here are two more events within the three-month long program that will appeal to a broad range of photographers. And like all the other events, participation is affordable, or even free!
The Cyprus Photographic Society, Pafos Branch is bringing back their contest, The Wall, as part of the Months Of Photography Paphos program. And, once again, the winning submissions will be featured in the center of Paphos, a 2017 European Capital of Culture!
The goal of The Wall is to exhibit large pictures in an outdoor public space. This is realized by the showing of 30 winning images on a wall in the city center at an eye-catching 53cm x 80cm each! The photos will be printed and installed for outdoor exposure and remain on exhibit for six months. Deadline for submission is May 2. Complete rules and guidelines can be found at www.cpspafos.com . Photographers from Cyprus and abroad are encouraged to submit.

Presented by Maria Efthymiou and Thanos Savvides, this workshop will be held at the House of Literature and Arts, Pafos on May 4. It begins at 3PM with “Let’s Learn The Basics Of Photography”. After an intermission, the students will take a walk in the streets around the House, going on a photoshoot. The students must bring a digital camera with them and parents may join them on the photo walk if they wish.
