The Historical, Vintage & Classic Car Museum is holding their 2nd ever Automotive Photography Contest starting from now till June 2nd which will be the last day you can submit your shots.
The following are the categories of the contest:
Best Photo of a car
Micro Photo of the Car
Black and White
People’s Choice (voted on by the museum visitors)
The prizes for first place are KD500, second place 300 and third 200. Each of the top 50 will also get KD50. The overall winners will also get KD1,000 for first, 750 for second and 500 for third. So there is a substantial amount of money to be won here.
I went through the rules, everything seems ok, the only issue I had was with the following statement:
– When you participate in the competition you will grant the Museum ALL copyright of the images submitted, and you may not reclaim any rights.
At first I thought they meant that they will basically own the photos after you submit them but turns out they just mean they will have the right to use and reprint the images for calendars, posters etc.. without requiring your permission which is fine by me.
I’ll most likely be taking part with my McLaren and Fiat 500 shots if I can figure out where to get my photos printed and boarded. If you’re also interested to participate then download the PDF with the full details of the competition from [Here]

Mark, you can get the prints done from Ashraf or Artech. Last year’s winner just got his prints done from Ashraf. I’m going to Artech tomorrow to give mine.

Mark, you can try Abyat if you want to. They have a Canvas section where you can get your pictures on canvas and framed or on acrylic sheets.
I think the McLaren pic would look amazing on acrylic
Don’t like turning photos into paintings. WIll be using Ashraf since it’s near my office and I remembered my brother used them for his exhibition.
I think you need to see this: https://s13.postimage.org/c3uwuhmef/CANVAS_11.jpg
This is the ABYAT canvas section.
If you print it on acrylic, it will looks amazing.
Just pass by ABYAT and see it yourself !
As I mentioned above, I’m not interested in the acrylic look. Would rather my pictures look like pictures and not paintings.
I thought the competition has to do with their own cars!! i mean you have to go there and shoot the cars they already have on display!
Don’t be so blonde..
That’s what i first thought.
can we submit photoshopped pictures and pix of someone else’s car?
Well Mark is using pics of my Mclaren if that’s what you mean? Or are you asking about something else? Also I think its best to ask the owners permission before doing something like this because not all owners are comfortable with pictures their cars floating around in public.
Hey Mark i didnt see your submissions on the exhibition didnt you participate ?
hey, no never had time to print my stuff
