RCDC NZ
would like to announce that Tamara Mapper, a student at the college, was 2nd
runner up at the New Zealand Fashion Week ? Sony Competition, NZ?s prestigious
photography competition! Tamara is a 2nd year student pursing a
Diploma in Visual Arts Level 6 (majoring in Digital Photography) and she is
expected to graduate in June 2010.
Almost
100 entries were submitted from across the country, and fifteen impressive
entrants have been chosen to compete at Fashion Week. Three out of those fifteen
finalists were RCDC NZ students: Tamara Mapper, Lawrence Tan & Sam van der
Kolk.
?The
competition generated a lot of interest this year and choosing the finalists was
a difficult task,? said Sam Williams, Sony Marketing Manager for Digital Imaging
Products. ?We are confident the group we have chosen will produce some
outstanding work at Fashion Week.?
?The
scores were very close but at the end of the day Marcelle was the clear winner.
All the finalists have a bright future ahead of them and no doubt we will see
them in the industry in the next few years, said Sam Williams, Sony Marketing
Manager for Digital Imaging Products?
