Samsung Launches International Photography Competition to Capture Students’ Visionary Moments
Samsung has teamed up with six art colleges and schools of excellence from across the globe for this unprecedented competition. Students from around the world will be encouraged to unleash their creativity using the innovative Samsung NX10, and create three imaginative images which express a ‘creative moment’.
The competition provides a unique opportunity for aspiring and talented young people to showcase their photography skills through the functions and capabilities of the new NX10. The NX10, launched in January this year, marks the beginning of a new category and the evolution of DSLR cameras. It fulfills the current needs of photographers worldwide and aids the development of their creative focus. The NX10 ensures that high-quality imagery is no longer restricted to the elite consumer and guarantees value and creative freedom through its innovative concept.
Samsung has partnered with art schools across six countries globally to launch the WCIC with their most creative students, which will include aspiring artists, designers and architects. The 15 art schools are the leading further education establishments in their field and will be the focus of the competition. The locations of the schools range from the School of Visual Arts in the United Statesto the Tsinghua University in China. Initially, 20students from each country will be selected and provided with an NX10 camera to submit images representing their ‘creative moments’ to an online gallery. A worldwide audience will then be encouraged to vote for their favorite submissions, culminating in ten finalists being invited to exhibit their images at the Dashanzi Art District 798 (TBD) in Beijing. The finalists will be announced on April 14.
The NX10’s range of creative features and best-in-quality images allows the artists of tomorrow to truly unleash their creative side. Despite having a sensor size equivalent to that of a DSLR, the NX10 boasts a compact, sleek and lightweight design which means it can be carried around easily all day. Furthermore, to guarantee those great images are captured, the NX10 boasts the fastest autofocus (AF) in its class on the market, meaning you never miss a creative moment, even in the flash of a second. The NX10’s advanced technology means it does the capturing so students can do the creating, providing an enjoyable photography experience every time. The new camera range also ensures that external conditions and bright sunlight no longer affect the quality of images, as the NX10’s large 3” AMOLED screen provides clear visibility even outdoors.
“Students are the creators and innovators of tomorrow and their skills need to be recognized, encouraged and nurtured across the world,” explained Mr. S J Park, CEO of Samsung Digital Imaging Company. “Samsung is committed to supporting the next generation of creative talent and promoting culture and education through our new WCIC competition. The NX10 camera will allow entrants to further explore their creativity and develop their own story through its capabilities.”
Mr. S J Park added: “The evolution of our cameras creates a new paradigm in digital imaging. The NX10 doesn’t just capture images, it is a tool for creating stories, from its unique feature set and portability through to its ability to record movies and take professional-quality pictures. We were inspired to create a product that would change the way people think and feel about cameras and how they integrate camera technology into their everyday lives. The NX10 is here to pioneer a new category of digital cameras.”
