A D V A N C E N O T I C E:
PHOTO COMPETITION ON HARM, INJUSTICE AND CRIME LAUNCHING SOON!!!
------------------
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.
