Ram Rugby Photographic Competition

Attention all budding rugby photographers! Ram Rugby have teamed up with our friends at International Rugby News to launch a competition to find some of the best amateur rugby photography in the business.

We want you to send us your snaps that capture the essence of this great game at grassroots level, covering every aspect from scrums, lineouts and big tackles to celebrations, funny moments and stunning action.

The best pictures will be used by Ram for their rugby catalogue, year planner and website and posted on our own brand new gallery at www.internationalrugbynews.co.uk .

Every photographer that has a picture used by RAM will win a Ram International match ball worth ￡35. In addition, the winning photograph in each of the categories below will win the photographer a year‘s subscription of International Rugby News plus a sports bag.
