PhotoBARRYthon 2020
PhotoBARRYthon took place in Barry on 10th October 2020. There was a 12 hour event for those with enough stamina and a family friendly 6 hour event. An event for locals who know the place well but who may not have looked at it closely through a lens, and an event for visitors to spend the whole day exploring and finding great shots.
What is a photomarathon?
It’s a test of creativity, photography skills, endurance, and sense of humour! It is a competitive event with prizes, and takes place over a set period of time. The PhotoBARRYthon format is 12 topics, 12 photos, 12 hours, or 6 topics, 6 photos, 6 hours.
There are many rules to the game, but crucially you must have one photo per topic and they must be in topic order on your phone or camera, with no extra photos.
