FAMILY AND THE FAMILIAR I


This year’s WESTPHOTO Annual Photography Prize – which has ‘Family & The Familiar’ as its theme - promises to be the biggest so far.


The concept of family is constantly changing, with every person forming their own definition. Being familiar gives us confidence and security and is a guarantor for a multi-cultural society. As we learn to negotiate changes and new experiences in our lives the unfamiliar becomes familiar. Through photography we can visualize these changes.

As well as all Westminster photography students, the competition – now in its fifth year - will also be open to those studying photography at the prestigious F+F Schule für Kunst und Mediedesign in Zurich, Switzerland.

It will result in an exhibition in Zurich, Switzerland as well as a London exhibition at the Ambika P3 Gallery in December, providing great exposure for the shortlisted images - once again judged by prominent judges from the world of photography.

KEY INFORMATION
- Digital submission of all images via WESTPHOTO website
- Minimum resolution of images is 4000 x 2800 pixel at 300dpi
