The second edition of our #INNBalance Photography Competition is open for submissions!
The competition invites members, students and alumni of the King’s Inns community to capture a key moment or highlight during Long Vacation (August to September), the traditional break period for barristers in Ireland. This can be across a wide range of areas: life moments, experiences, locations visited, people*, connections with nature, etc. Bonus points for anything with a legal theme!
Winning photos will be featured on social media and in an end-of-year publication.
How to take part?
To participate, please send your entries by email to members@kingsinns.ie
The results will be revealed this autumn.
