Venue: The Graphic Design Department at Virginia Commonwealth University in Qatar
Organisers: IHPE (International Heritage Photographic Experience) and Virginia Commonwealth University in Qatar

Website: www.qatar.vcu.edu
The Graphic Design Department at Virginia Commonwealth University in Qatar is inviting all students at schools and universities in Qatar to participate in the IHPE (International Heritage Photographic Experience) 2010 contest.

Based in Spain, IHPE has assigned VCUQatar and its Graphic Design Department, through the IHPE coordinator in Qatar, Diane Mikhael, to host and launch this Photographic Project under the theme: Heritage in Qatar, and to circulate the project brief among education institutions in Doha. The aim is to promote Qatar's rich heritage through creative photographs taken by the youth in this country so that they discover Qatar's monumental heritage and learn to value it and love it.

Each university or institution is free to assign this project to students under the ages of 21, but certain guidelines need to be followed. Participating schools and universities also have to choose a faculty member to be part of the jury for the final selection. The deadline for submissions is 25 March, 2010.

After the winning photographs have been selected and submitted to IHPE in Spain, they will be published in a catalogue. Students whose photographs have been selected will receive a certificate at a ceremony in the Palace of Europe in Strasbourg. An exhibition of all the prize-winning photographs will be hosted by each of the participating countries in September 2010.

 For rules and regulations for the IHPE Qatar 2010 contest and to download application forms please visit www.qatar.vcu.edu or email Ms. Mikhael at ddmikhael@qatar.vcu.edu
