GulfWeekly is today launching a photographic contest - and the top prize is a JOB!
We are creating a trainee news and sport photographer's position on Bahrain's number one community weekly newspaper.
YES, you could WIN the role by simply sending us your best photograph along with a caption of not more than 100 words explaining the story behind the image.
A talented young Bahraini is just one frame away from securing the chance of pursuing the career of his or her dreams and working alongside our chief photographer Sophie Middleton.
Editor Stan Szecowka said: "This is a golden opportunity for a local youngster to put his or her talent to the test and take the first steps on the newspaper ladder.
"We want to find an enthusiastic photographer who wants to develop the art of picture taking and can go on to capture the magic moments that mean so much to our family of readers."
The competition is open to all Bahrainis aged 25 or under. To enter you simply have to send us one of your favourite photographs, a caption and your CV by email to editor@gulfweekly.com
We will publish a selection of photographic entries over the coming weeks and invite a panel of judges to shortlist three young photographers for interview.
The youngster who shows the most drive, ambition and ability during the interview process will secure an 18-month trainee contract.
GulfWeekly's chief photographer Sophie Middleton, 27, developed her love of the camera during a photography course and hasn't looked back since.
The former St Christopher's School pupil explained: "I love photography because it is an amazing way to document the world around you, in the way that you see it. Also, I love the fact that photography is so instant. You are able to see what you have produced straight away.
"My 'top tip' is to just shoot as much as you can and try to view everyday things in a different way to which you might already see them."
Sophie, from Janabiya, started as a portrait photographer before moving to news and feature work.
Here is a selection of her work to inspire potential photographers looking for ideas for their entries.
