The Archaeological Photography Award 2010

Capture the Past in Photos, and you could win a fabulous Canon EOS 500D, and other prizes for the 3 runners-up

photographyaward2010

We are proud to launch our Archaeological Photography Award.  Your photographs will help to record the present day state of sites for future generations as we build up an archive of photos from all over the world.

We have been taking people on journeys through the ancient world for 25 years; introducing, engaging and interesting them in the story of mankind as told by the things they left behind. We have already built up an impressive collection of images taken by our own staff and by the talented photographers amongst our guests. Now we want to extend this and attract photos from everywhere - even sites we do not yet visit, and from everyone - whether they have travelled with us yet or not.

PRIZES
The overall winner for best picture will receive a

fabulous Canon EOS 500D digital SLR, the best in its class.  
There will be other prizes worth around £100 each for the winners of each remaining category, sponsored by Oxbow Books and the Council for British Archaeology.

Starting in the wonderful city of Alexandria, redolant with past glories, it follows the coastal route before heading into the desert to Siwa and Bahariya,  explores the extraordinary Fayoum region, and then heads back to Cairo. Tony O'Connor, the Guide Lecturer on our first tour in October, and Alex Casey, who administers the tour here in the Andante office, have just returned from a final check on hotels, sites and logistics, and confirm that it is a wonderful programme and an…

  • Hidden Gem: looking down from Xerxes’ palace Written by Denise Allen

    Hidden Gem: looking down from Xerxes’ palace By Dr Lloyd Llewellyn-Jones. Almost hidden out of sight, at the rear of the great platform of Persepolis, tucked away at the side of the museum are the remains of multiple chambers connected by long service corridors. Today the outlines of these rooms are easy to spot since they have been built up in mud brick to the height of about 12 inches. Stone lintels at the doorway and the shattered remains of columns are also visible. Stand at the remains of Xerxes’ palace and look down. You’ll see it all. But what is this building? Scholars are deeply divided…
