Liverpool Architecture Festival 24 and Open Eye Gallery are working together to offer this great opportunity to photographers of all levels to enter interpretations of their Neighbourhood.
“Everyone is Moving – Your Journeys, Your Neighbourhoods”
The theme of the photography competition is Neighbourhoods – what do you consider as your neighbourhood, or neighbourhoods? Whether that be where you live, work, study, visit and your movement between these neighbourhoods. What aspects of your town and city are crucial to forming these neighbourhoods? Is it the street signage, the bus shelters, the pubs on the corner or the larger gathering spaces?
What do your neighbourhoods mean to you? And how are these framed in your journey as you move around within your day-to-day life? What local buildings, monuments, or built objects hold memories or stories? What hidden architectural gems does your local area hold?
Open Eye Gallery and Liverpool Architecture Festival are inviting photographers of all backgrounds, using any medium from mobile phone cameras to DSLR and film, to capture the unique character of the diverse neighbourhoods of the Liverpool City Region within 6-9 snapshots.
