A D V A N C E N O T I C E:
PHOTO COMPETITION ON HARM, INJUSTICE AND CRIME LAUNCHING SOON!!!
(Apologies for resending - there appeared to be problems with formatting in
the previous circulation of this email).
------------------
Violent events caused by businesses and the state; hidden violence against
women, children and the elderly; the way in which poverty hurts injures,
hurts and kills; the impact of environmental pollution – all of these
rarely attract the same level of political and public concern
as ‘conventional’ crime.
In September 2008 a national photography competition will be launched by
the Centre for Crime and Justice Studies at King’s College London as part
of our ‘What is crime?’ project. The competition will invite images which
confront and challenge the different contexts in which the powerful inflict
violence and harm upon the powerless and challenge popular ideas about what
crime is, who commits it and who gets harmed.
----------------------------------
IF YOU ARE A LECTURER OR TEACHER PLEASE CONSIDER INVITING YOUR STUDENTS TO
PARTICIPATE NEXT TERM.
COMPETITION CATEGORIES:
* ENVIRONMENT
* FINANCE
* VIOLENCE
Photos will be judged on whether they move the judges and challenge
thinking on what is harmful, unjust or criminal under one of the three
competition categories. Photographs must be submitted in digital format
using the facility on which will be available on our website from September
and can be taken using anything from a mobile phone to a high spec digital
camera. The deadline for entries will be in March 2009.
FURTHER INFORMATION
Further information will be available on our website soon and circulated at
the time of the competition launch in September 2008. Once launched,
information about prizes, exhibition, online gallery, entry details,
publicity materials and special resource pages will be available at the
competition website http://www.crimeandjustice.org.uk/wicphoto.html.
In the meantime please keep this exciting initiative in mind when planning
your 2008/9 lectures and classes. Please get in touch if you have any
queries or email your contact details if you would like to receive
notification when the competition launches in September.
