MULTI-LINGUAL student Ansar Al Halal hopes her amazing images will express their message in any language and help her secure the job of her dreams as a full-time press photographer.

The former Isa Town Secondary School pupil takes her camera with her wherever she goes and has recently been studying the German language at the University of Duisburg Essen in Germany.

Ansar, 24, who is also fluent in Arabic and English, said: "I really love photography and would welcome the opportunity of showing more of my work to GulfWeekly readers."

Gulf Weekly will be creating a trainee news and sport photographer's position and YES, you could WIN that position by simply sending us your best photograph along with a caption of not more than 100 words.

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: "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 26 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 photographer who shows the most drive, ambition and ability during the interview process will secure an 18-month trainee contract.

GulfWeekly is searching for a sharp-shooting young Bahraini who wants to become the best news photographer in the kingdom. Don't delay - send your top image, plus a few words describing it - to editor@gulfweekly.com
