Bird Photography Competition Site

I'm seeking a skilled web designer to create a modern, minimalistic website for an international bird photography competition focused on creative imagery - think ground-breaking artistic techniques that go beyond the literal. We already have the branding and structure in place but want visual impact through design skills that we don't possess.

Key Features:
- Winners gallery to showcase top entries
- Interactive elements like photo sliders/carousels and hover effects

Ideal Skills:
- Experience in minimalistic and clean design
- Proficiency in creating engaging interactive elements
- Strong portfolio in photography competition or similar websites

All text, branding, and structure are already in place. Your design should elevate the existing content and provide an engaging user experience.

We also want SEO and keywording on all pages.
