Competition: Snap the spirit of Reading
The Solent Centre for Architecture + Design and South East England Development Agency (SEEDA) have launched a competition to capture “the spirit of the places we live in”.
The organisations are inviting people in the South East to submit a photo that they think portrays the identity of where they live (could be a building, park or any other public space), with the prizes being a top digital camera and a place in an exhibition. The competition deadline is 30 June 2007. Download the competition pamphlet for more information.
I’m reminded of the unique and very funny photos of Reading that can be bought as wrapping paper, coasters and calendars at the shop But Is it Art? They portray a less glamourous side of Reading (one picture, for example, features a shopping trolley dumped in the Thames), and one that I’m sure many Reading residents and visitors are familiar with.
