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.
Wasn’t a big fan of the BBQ zones as I assumed people would be responsible enough to stop the ground getting scorched these days. Guess not.
Paul on April 30th, 2010I hope the idiots who do this see the damage they do, and stop it.
Great pictures Claire
Martin on April 30th, 2010‘Southsea Bronx’ – yeah it bloody looks like it when everyone’s had their weekend fun. Sure the BBQs leave a permanent scar on the landscape but there’s also a serious problem of people not taking their rubbish with them. Disgraceful.
Squelch on April 30th, 2010yarp…i witnessed a bunch of kevs burning a tent last weekend…which is nice!
Bo on April 30th, 2010I don’t understand why the council doesn’t build BBQ ‘pitches’ around the common for the summer months. Sell time slots to people and the money would go towards the upkeep, litter bins and council wardens to keep an eye on things. Not permit, no BBQ. Is that too harsh an opinion?
Ben Mills on April 30th, 2010I asked the same question and they did attempt it but someone stole the bricks :[
claire sambrook on April 30th, 2010Ahhh, the wonders of mass production culture. The companies who make instant BBQs don’t care, the shops that sell them don’t care, the people who use them don’t care…
invertedquestionmark on April 30th, 2010A team of Council Officials armed with buckets of water. Oh, your BBQs on the grass. Soaking wet burgers for for everyone. You won’t be doing that again…
Tristan Savage on April 30th, 2010a ban on disposable bbqs would be the answer..if you want to take a BBQ down there then it’s got to be a proper, off the floor one, so you would also have to be responsible enough to take some water to put it out. you can get those little bucket ones with legs for example.
for those who ignore it, i go with tristan’s suggestion….
