Photography competition, What is crime? invites you to present your view of what harm, crime and injustice mean to you.
Violent events caused by businesses and the state; hidden violence against women, children and the elderly; the way in which poverty 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. So, rather than the usual law and order images of police, prison and judges, the competition will invite entries that stimulate unconventional thinking about harm, injustice and crime.
Throw a spotlight on the many events that lead to injury and harm in modern society under one or more of the competition categories of:
• Environment
• Finance
• Violence
Open to members of the public, students and campaigners, amateur and professional photographers alike, the competition represents an innovative way of intervening in public debates about justice and will seek creative, moving or funny images.
Entry is via the website only and closes on March 1st 2009.
