Flip through the latest issue of Gulf Weekly.
TALENTED teenager Najla Qamber understands that the power of pictures can help influence people and change lives.
And she hopes her anti-smoking image may help the nicotine-addicted stub out the dreaded weed and win her a prized position on Bahrain's campaigning community newspaper.
Najla, 16, from Al Mahooz, has just finished home study with the Philippine Christian School of Tomorrow in Paranaque City, Philippines, and says photo-manipulation and drawing are her main interests and she even boasts her own online gallery at www.redeemer-of-light.deviantart.com
She said: "My objective is to establish and gain experience in a professional environment."
Her entry into the GulfWeekly 'win a job' photography contest is captioned 'Quit without damaging your pride' and she hopes it captures the imagination of the judges, including our chief photographer, Sophie Middleton.
GulfWeekly will be creating a trainee news and sport photographer's position and YES, you could WIN that position by simply sending us your best photograph along with a caption of not more than 100 words.
A talented young Bahraini is just one frame away from securing the chance of pursuing the career of his or her dreams and working alongside Sophie.
Editor Stan Szecowka said: "We want to find an enthusiastic photographer who wants to develop the art of picture taking and can go on to capture the magic moments that mean so much to our family of readers."
The competition is open to all Bahrainis aged 25 or under. To enter you simply have to send us one of your favourite photographs, a caption and your CV by email to editor@gulfweekly.com
We will publish a selection of photographic entries over the coming weeks and invite a panel of judges to shortlist three young photographers for interview.
The photographer who shows the most drive, ambition and ability during the interview process will secure an 18-month trainee contract.
