Canon Middle East has announced the launch of its regional photography competition that urges imaging enthusiasts to capture the beauty of their cities from an unique perspective.

Participants of the #ComeandSeeMyArabia competition will have to explore their creative vision and portray the uniqueness of their cities and submit it to the Canon ME Facebook page. The competition is open to nationals and residents of the Middle East and North, East & West Africa. The winner stands a chance to win the grand prize of a Canon EOS 760 Dcamera along with a Canon PIXMA PRO-10S printer.

The competition that starts today, will be closed for entries on July 5. With an aim to further provide more support to interested participants, Canon will share photography tips and tricks on its Facebook page thereby enabling them to take better photographs and submit their best entries for the competition.

“Canon Middle East is committed to supporting photography in the region and ensuring it is accessible to all. The Canon #ComeAndSeeMyArabia photography competition is a great platform to nurture and recognise local talent and most importantly enable them to push their creative boundaries to capture the uniqueness of their Arabian city," said Hendrik Verbrugghe, Marketing Director, Canon Middle East.

The winning entries will be chosen by a judging panel constituting experts from Dubai's leading photography institute Gulf Photo Plus (GPP). GPP will look for the most well composed, artistic and original image that evokes the best interpretation of the theme ‘unique perspectives of my Arabian city’.
