PRIMARY – Extended & Improved
We have some great news about our PRIMARY phonography exhibition (find out all the details here) that we can now announce:
- The deadline for submissions has now been extended to Sunday 4th March. We have had some incredible submissions but want to set aside more time to make the exhibition something really special.
- The competition is now open to up to 10 submissions from each individual. With the ability to capture many photos on your phone over the next two months we we want you to not feel restricted to just three. The same rules apply about the photos conforming to compositions using the primary colours though. If you have already submitted feel free to send more photos over as and when you please.
- The exhibition will be hosted by Albert Road’s own Bonzo Studio who are also partnering up with us in the creation of the exhibition space. More news on this soon!
- Finally, we will be running a competition as part of the exhibition where the best three photos submitted will win some incredible prizes. We will be announcing the prizes available very soon but got to say, these will be the best prize haul we have ever offered.
- We will be putting together a poster for the exhibition that will be on sale on the opening night. The poster will feature some of the best submissions and all profits from the sales will go to a local charity (details to follow soon). Due to this we need to say that any photos submitted to PRIMARY will involve you giving us permission to use them for commercial purposes, if you do not want your photo used in this way simply let us know via email.
Well, that is it for now! We really hope to drum up as much coverage locally for PRIMARY in the next couple of months so if you could Facebook/Tweet/+1 about the exhibition we would really appreciate it. We would love this exhibition to be a real reflection of the whole population of Portsmouth with everyone taking part and feeling involved.

Love these. There once was a plan to have a pint in every Portsmouth pub this year but that never got started. Probably for the best.
Paul on November 30th, 2009We’ll do it one day. Ben wanted to do it on bikes. Can you imagine.
Tristan Savage on November 30th, 2009I’m in! Can we end up QA way though?
Martin on December 1st, 2009A pint in every Portsmouth pub?
Seriously?
Surely that would be enough booze to kill a herd of elephants????
Pudding Snack! on December 1st, 2009Lightweight. Where’s your Pompey grit.
Tristan on December 1st, 2009Ha!
I left it at home between my espresso machine and my smoothie maker….
Pudding Snack! on December 1st, 2009We did the sums, basically you’ld need to be an unemployed, functioning alcoholic to do it in less than a year, although there was a story of someone doing it in a month. Probably an urban myth.
I got to the point of doing a Google map with all the pubs on it but only got three quarters of the way through.
Anyway, should do an Albert Road pub crawl for sure.
Paul on December 1st, 2009According to http://www.portsmouthpubs.org.uk there are 190 pubs in Portsmouth.
190 pints…
Martin on December 2nd, 2009^^ edit: 66 pubs from the list have now closed. Some have been replaced though.
124 pints…
Martin on December 2nd, 2009That’s the website I used to make the map. Interesting seeing the old pubs that are now houses.
Paul on December 2nd, 2009Really interesting site. I always remember this one: http://www.portsmouthpubs.org.uk/images/pubsmo/mystery.jpg
Martin on December 2nd, 2009out of place amongst the high-rises
