Upcoming Performances
Capture the Parents
Brighton & Hove, 12 December 2011 - 17 February 2012
A photo competition with a difference....this time- kids take the pics!
We're looking for children aged 4-7 who would like to take pictures of their parents or carer.
Children are often the subject of photographs. Here the tables are turned and kids between 4 and 7 years old get to take photos of their parents (or those that care for them). The photos might be posed, or more likely, taken at inopportune moments. It is a curious fact that adults are far more likely to relax and not put on their 'photo face' when photographed by their children.
Winning entries will be exhibited at THE CHILDREN'S FESTIVAL EXHIBITION AT THE DOME, APRIL 2012.
SEND IN YOUR PHOTOS BY 17 FEB BY POST TO : LIVESTOCK, 110 PANKHURST AVENUE, BRIGHTON BN2 9YN, EMAIL TO capture@livestock.org.uk, OR TEXT TO 07530673916 - make sure to include your child's name and age
Our judges will be selecting 20 photographs for exhibition.
Judges include: ZOE BALL, LORD BASSAM, GUY LLOYD (Juice radio), HELEN CAMMOCK (Brighton Photo Fringe director), GORDON MACDONALD (Photoworks - Head of Publications).
There is a wide range of prizes including family tickets/vouchers to:
Sealife Centre, Drusillas, Michelham Priory, The Komedia, The Dome, The Pavilion Museum, Wasbrooks Farm, The Duke of York's Picturehouse, Knockhatch Adventure Park, Bombanes restaurant, Painting Pottery cafe, Kiddizoom cameras.
The project incorporates 'Connected Families' - a series of free photography workshops funded by The Big Lottery Fund.
