Documentary - My Back Yard 4

Photography competition - call for entry closes 25th September

This is the fourth year of our documentary competition which is open to all, both UK and overseas photographers. An exhibition of the winners and finalist images will be held at Calumet gallery space London starting with a Private view on the19th November 2008.
All of our competitions can be entered either as single image or a series of up to six images.
A series means that the images must be related - have a narrative running through them. A series can be between two and up to six images, please don't make the mistake of padding out a series of say four really good pictures with an additional one or two images just for luck.

The Brief
My back yard …. the good , the bad and the down right ugly.

What do you consider to be your back yard? Your block? Your neighbourhood? Your town or city? The more expansive of you might even consider it to be the planet we inhabit. Whichever way you look at it, your back yard is a very personal space – ideal subject matter for the documentary photographer. This is an opportunity to comment on the people and places that are important to you, a chance to introduce us to the society, sights, secrets that are very special to your own back yard.
