Growing Spaces
SCHOOLS PHOTO COMPETITION
In collaboration with the Bristol Education Partnership and SOIL association Bristol Photo Festival is launching a photographic competition for schools around the city of Bristol. The theme is “Growing Spaces” and we are inviting students at all partner schools to submit their best image relating to this theme. The photograph might be taken at home, at school or out in the community. The aim is to showcase and celebrate the natural, growing world of flowers, vegetables, weeds, plants and trees - and even people.
Full details announced in April.

BLUEPRINT: Housing & Wellbeing / Commission
CALL FOR APPLICATIONS
Bristol Photo Festival in collaboration with Arnolfini are happy to offer a commission opportunity for a Bristol based artist or artist collective to work together on a short project that uses photography to explore ideas around housing and wellbeing. The project should embrace the medium of photography, although this can be combined with text, sound, video or performance. We are interested in experimental approaches, socially engaged practitioners and those who have previously co-developed photographic projects with community groups or explored health issues although this is not mandatory. Photography should be a critical part of the creative process. The outcome will be exhibited at Arnolfini and feature online on the Bristol Photo Festival website.
DEADLINE 26 October 2020
