Welcome to the BMW Ulster Section Photographic Rally 2010. This simply is an activity to enjoy riding your motorcycle to a place and taking a little picture to record the moment.

All you’ve got to do between now and the closing date is to visit as many of the listed locations as you choose, in any order you wish, by whatever route pleases you, alone or accompanied as your prejudices dictate. Take a photograph of the nominated subject, be creative if you desire, but include your motorcycle (and pillion passenger if entered).

The basic aims of the Ulster Photographic Rally are: -

· To encourage people to get “out there” on their motorbike(s) and have some enjoyment. “Out there” (it is hoped), will either be off the beaten track or feature an interesting subject, preferably both?
· An interest in photography is not essential, however it just might add to the enjoyment of the event.
· In the context of motorcycling the event is not competitive. Badges are awarded for photographing a preset number of locations. Certificates will be awarded for best photo, best set of photos, oldest bike, and smallest bike etc.

All participants are subject to all the rules and regulations as apply to traffic and/or trespass. Please respect these and any other considerations as may be relevant. Be CAREFUL and DO ENJOY yourself.

There’s no need to pre enter; simply submit your photos no later than 31st October (no exceptions).

See the entry forms for conditions and how to enter.
