CoolClimate Art Contest

CoolClimate Art Contest
Submission Deadline: August 23

We are searching for the brightest and most creative visions that will challenge and engage people around the issue of climate change. The Earth is our home. What is your vision for its future? What will happen if nothing is done to stop events like oil spills, deforestation, and global warming? What are the solutions that will make a clean energy future possible?

The contest: Create a work that encompasses the questions above! We are open to a wide array of submissions, but the images have to be static (no motion graphics or video, sorry!) and they have to be your own. Entries will be judged on originality, creative application of the theme, and technical skill. Finalists will be posted on Huffington Post, where the public will vote for the winner.

MyPlace_MyFace Photograph Competition

Last Date for Applications 12/07/2010

Exh.Dates: August - September 2010

Total Prize est @$3,473

http://www.wesleymission.org.au/Get_Involved/Events/Photo_Comp/default.asp

A place that is special is the theme of a new photography competition that aims to reach out to
people who are experiencing or have experienced homelessness, alongside people who have a
secure place to live.

MyPlace_MyFace encourages people to take a photo of themselves, their friends, family or pet, in a setting that has added meaning for them, be it a local park, favourite tree, café, swimming spot, the back yard shed, mum's old lounge, or a cubby house.

The initiative, a collaboration between the City of Sydney's Pine Street Creative Arts Centre and
Homelessness Unit, Australian Centre for Photography and Wesley Mission, invites entries from amateur photographers, regardless of age or skill level. A panel of judges, including Verity Chambers, Photo Editor of Sydney Morning Herald, will decide a winner and runner-up in each category to receive prizes.

Playing on the pervasiveness of today's online social networking applications, such as My Space and Facebook, the competition encourages members of the community to celebrate “real” as opposed to “virtual” places and people.

Housed Category is for people who have a place to live. Both have Under 18s and Over 18s subcategories.
