The Western Development Commission, in association with photo website Pix.ie, has launched a photo competition to highlight the Creative West as the Western Region rapidly becomes Ireland’s hub for the creative industries with over 11,000 jobs in the sector according to a recent WDC survey.
Participants are asked to simply upload their photos, taken during the Galway Volvo Ocean Race Festival that runs from May 23 to June 6, onto http://pix.ie/go/lookwest, so that people all over the world can see the beauty and the character of the region and that might attract them to consider setting up businesses in the Western Region. The winners will be chosen by marine sports journalist and photographer David Branigan. Prizes include top of the range digital cameras to a total value of €1,500.
