Every year we run a competition that’s open to absolutely anyone who can pick a camera and take a picture. This year’s competition – Borders This year, Tiger Camera is looking for personal, creative, and inspiring interpretations of the theme Borders: Where does the border lie? Is it inside us or out? Shall we move it, or cross it? Does it inhibit us or set us free? Do we create borders in our own hearts or do others create them on a map? An eye-opening prize The competition is judged by an internationally acclaimed jury, which changes every year. And the winner receives a valuable –eye opening – prize. This year it’s a trip to Japan! Plus his or her photograph is published along with the 50 best pictures in a photo book that’s sold in Tiger stores the world over.
