What is crime? Photography Competition

WHO: Open to members of the public, students and campaigners, amateur and
professional photographers alike, the competition represents an innovative way of intervening in public debates about justice and will seek creative, moving or funny images. This is an opportunity for you and/or your students to contribute visually to this exploration of harm, crime and injustice. If you would like to promote the competition, like paper or electronic versions of our flyers, or have any queries, please email me at this address.
WHAT: The Centre for Crime and Justice Studies is proud to launch a new
photography competition 'What is crime?' which seeks to explore how we view harm, crime and injustice. We are writing to ask you to consider incorporating this initiative into your classes or to encourage your students to take part. You may also be interested in participating yourself!

Launched today, the ‘What is crime?’ photography competition seeks to
challenge common sense thinking by seeking innovative submissions of images of 'crime' and the 'criminal'. Violent events caused by businesses and the state; hidden violence against women, children and the elderly; the way in which poverty 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. So, rather than the usual law and order images of police, prison and judges, the competition invites entries which stimulate thinking about harm, injustice and crime – around the themes of financial harm and inequality; environmental harm and; different forms of violence.
APPLY: Entry is via our website only and closes on March 1st 2009. More information

The award is geared toward fostering young talents and helping launch the careers of promising jewellery designers.

5thTallinn Applied Art Triennial: KNOW HOW

WHO: artists in Europe involved in all areas of applied art and design without geographic restrictions. The triennial is open to both professionals and university students. The artist must hold the copyright to his or her own work, and the work may not have been created under an academic supervisor.
WHAT: KNOW HOW, the theme of the fifth Tallinn applied art triennial, will challenge participants to cast aside artist-, designer- and producer-centred approaches, to share their professional know-how, and to offer exhibition visitors an opportunity to (re-)create the items themselves. The exhibition welcomes high-quality designs where the designer is behind the concept and form – but the actual production of the items makes a transition to the users. Artists will be requested to submit to the exhibition a (sample) work as well as instructions on how to make it. Both will be put on display. The instructions should not merely be a description of how the work was created, but rather a manual for the exhibition visitor explaining how to re-create the object. Text and photographs can be used, as well as freehand and computer graphics, stencilling, and many other techniques. The exhibition will also have a website where virtual visitors will be able to download manuals. The exhibition catalogue will feature the sample works as well as instructions on how to make them.
WHEN: 13 Nov 2009-21 Feb 2010.
