Subject of the photo contest is a challenge that, at first, seems to be difficult to be up to. What can be interesting in antennas? Can they really inspire and become the focus of artistic interest?
DIPOL organizes this photographic competition for the eight time. The seven previous editions showed that antennas can be interesting subjects of the environment we live in, and - besides useful functions - they can bring artistic inspiration. We hope the competitors will again take up the task that, apart from having aesthetic qualities, requires dash of imagination, grain of wit, and sometimes a certain measure of risk.
Antennas constitute a part of our everyday landscape. Many of us can remember all of these past "forests" of traditional TV antennas that disappear from our lives being replaced by "dishes" of satellite antennas, and "tubes" or "columns" of communications devices.
Some of them irritate our sense of beauty and ruin the looks of even the most architecturally-advanced buildings, but others may have just an opposite effect, creating a sort of unity and harmony with their surroundings.
Works can be submitted from June 1st, 2009 to September 30, 2009. The works will be adjudicated by photographer and designer from Krakow, Mr. Pawel Zechenter (I and II prize).
III prize will be awarded by our technical department - the main criterion is ability of communicating technical ideas in an interesting way.
The results of the previous editions are available at DIPOL website.
In 2008 the first prize went to Mr. Dariusz Mączynski for the aesthetic values of the series"In a distorting mirror".
