PHOTO COMPETITION ON HARM, INJUSTICE AND CRIME LAUNCHING SOON!!!
Violent events caused by businesses and the state; hidden violence against
women, children and the elderly; the way in which poverty hurts 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.
In September 2008 a national photography competition will be launched by the
Centre for Crime and Justice Studies at King’s College London as part of
our ‘What is crime?’ project. The competition will invite images which confront
and challenge the different contexts in which the powerful inflict violence and
harm upon the powerless and challenge popular ideas about what crime is, who
commits it and who gets harmed....moreLabels: Awards/grants

Embracing the spirit of the Avant Garde
From 1900 - 1937 the European Avant Garde embraced the spirit of revolt, challenge and change brought about by industrialisation and the decline of traditional hierarchies, particularly after the 1914-18 war. It represents a pushing back of the boundaries of what is acceptable as the cultural norm in society.
The brief
We challenge you to design a piece of work which embraces the spirit of the avant garde, exploring whether its philosophy is relevant to you and the world today.
The prize
The winning entry will be displayed at the British Library flagship building in London and showcased on our website.
The judges
Graphic designer Peter Saville; typography expert Professor Phil Baines, Central Saint Martins; Madeleine Holt, culture correspondent, BBC Newsnight; leading authority on innovation and creativity, Charles Leadbeater; and Caryl Harris, Creativeinterpartners.
The deadline
Friday 9 November 2007
