June Exhibition: Thursday, 7 June - Sunday, 17 June
Bridge Street, Inverness
All the work submitted to the competition was displayed on an innovative digital interface developed by Distance Lab: over 750 photographs taken by over 200 people with a digital camera and a creative eye.
A grand prize of £250 was presented to the winner who was officially announced at an invitation-only reception on the evening of Thursday 7 June, and five entrants received ‘honorary mentions’ of £100. A special prize was awarded to a young photographer.
The judges were looking for the most stunning and inventive expressions of 'distance' in a contemporary Highlands and Islands context, with some sort of connection to Highland 2007's main themes: arts, environment, heritage, language, science and sport. Those who came to the exhibition were able to leave feedback for individual photographers by recording audio messages.
