First ScotRail Press Photography Awards
Relaunched in 2005 following a five year absence, the annual Scottish Press Photography Awards are open to all staff and freelance photographers in Scotland.
For the past three years the awards have been sponsored by train operator First ScotRail. As title sponsor, First ScotRail challenged 3x1 to build on the inaugural event on three counts: increase media coverage, increase public awareness of its sponsorship and improve relationships with the national and regional picture desks.
The successful 2007 awards attracted over 3,000 photographs from over 600 individual entrants and culminated in an awards ceremony at Glasgow’s Mitchell Library in March 2008, hosted by popular TV presenter Stephen Jardine.
