Dundalk Photo Walk
Dundalk is one of over 1300 towns and cities across the world where photographers will be taking part in the fifth annual Scott Kelby Worldwide Photo Walk on Saturday October 13th.
This is the first time the event has been marked in Dundalk, giving local photographers the opportunity to take part in what’s being billed as ‘ the world’s larged social photography event in the history of photography’.
The Dundalk walk is being lead by Argus reporter and amateur photographer Margaret Roddy who felt that it was time that Dundalk had a walk of its own.
‘We have two camera clubs in town as well as a photography course at O’Fiaich College so there should be plenty of photographers out there who would be interesting in getting together, taking photos and putting Dundalk on the map.’
The two hour walk gets underway at St Helena Park, (entrance opposite Lidl) on Saturday October 13th, setting off at 11am, and is open to anyone interested in photography, whether they use a smartphone or a DSLR. It’s all about having fun and sharing a love for photography.
More Photo Walk details are available at: http://worldwidephotowalk.com – simply search for walks in Ireland and register to participate in the Photo Walk. It’s a free event and there’s the chance to win a prize for the best photograph taken on the walk.

Photography Competition
2012 is the European year dedicated to the active ageing: a chance for all of us to reflect on how Europeans are living longer and staying healthier than ever before — and to realise the opportunities that represents.
This year, in recognition of the Initiative “Firenze European city of sport 2012”, the organising team has established 2 different sections:
- Section “Active ageing”
- Section “Sport and the elderly”
The main objective of the contest is to promote opportunities for active ageing in general and for living independently, acting in areas as diverse as employment, health care, social services, adult learning, volunteering, housing, IT services or transport. Sport will have a special section, in order to underline its role in the activities for elderly people.
How to participate: Fill in the application form including a photo short explanation (maximum 150 words) in Italian or English and send it together with the photo by e-mail to imagoeuropae@comune.fi.it no later than 16th of February 2012.
