THE BRIEF

STREET / FORM is about photography’s relationship with the urban landscape and street culture. The juxtaposition of shape and form, the encounters with the unknown, the intimacy with strangers.

Find inspiration in the street: shape / form / colour / contrast / abstract / angles / portrait / cityscape / culture / juxtaposition / pattern / light / shadow / urban / landscape / art.*

We’re inviting you to enter up to 6 images to be printed on punchy and democratic full-bleed newspaper print from Newspaper Club.

*(Please don’t directly photograph and submit images of other people’s street art – but do work with it as the basis for an exploration of how street art interacts with its environment).

 

HOW TO ENTER

Each entrant can submit up to six images. These can be from a series or individual images. All submitted files must be named with photographers name and title of work. Please read the specification information below.

We’ve subsidised the fee for Shutter Hub members to take part. The conditions of entry allow exhibitors to save on print, framing and courier fees which we hope encourages wider participation in our international exhibitions.

Deadline for entries: 5pm BST on Monday 19 August 2019

Please do not leave your entry until the last minute, we cannot accept any late entries.

Remember, newspaper printing is an industrial process designed for speed and economy. The outcomes of this printing process will be different to the usual prints, and colours on screen, that you may be used to. This is part of the beauty of working in this medium.

Shutter Hub reserves the right to not display work.
