Yeah Magazine No. 8

We’ve featured local art, design, fashion and photography magazine YEAH for a long time and the magazine keeps on growing and getting better and better. The new issue (number eight) went up for sale today and is themed on Rebellion. You can buy a copy online or find out where you can purchase a copy in person over at:

www.yeah-magazine.com

We Are Disposable, Yeah

We mentioned this project a little while ago but it has been building up speed recently with a big update to their website so we thought we would remind you plus fill you in on what’s new.

Combining both the concepts of Disposable Perspectives and the production talents of YEAH, “WE ARE DISPOSABLE YEAH” is going to be a photography book that hopes to evoke, inspire and engage. And the best part? You can get involved! Yes you can see your very own photo printed in what will be a very sexy publication.

They want photos that have been captured using a film based camera, be it a Polaroid, a Diana Lomo, a Fisheye or a Disposable. There is no theme, but the more wild and imaginative the concept the better. The best photos will be selected for publication. These will be chosen by a panel made up of the guys behind both YEAH & Disposable Perspectives.

You can submit up to 5 images, entry only £1.95 and they will be giving away a selection of prizes, including a Lomo Diana Mini and 5 x 1 year subscription to YEAH magazine.

YEAH Exhibition and New Issue

YEAH Magazine’s first exhibition has it’s opening night on Monday 16th of August and will also coincide with the release of their next issue. The event will be a big celebration of everything they have achieved since the 1st issue and big thank you to everyone that has supported them so far.

The exhibition will be held at the pop up shop on the roundabout at the end of Commercial Road opposite the One Legged Jockey, just down from Sainsburys. The exhibition will be spread over three rooms which, just like YEAH, will be themed. The first room will be a time-line of what YEAH has achieved since the beginning, the second will be their favourite prints from the last 6 issues and the third will be a launch of their new issue YM007, The Scene.

Find out more at the Facebook event and keep track of updates on YEAH’s Facebook.

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.

It’s going to be a Strong Movember – Closed at £725

Righto chaps, it’s time to clean shave your boat race and get that mighty moustache on the grow in support of Movember for The Prostate Cancer Charity and the Institute of Cancer Research. For 30 days of November you can help support and raise awareness through selflessly parading your top lip for charity.

You can sign up yourself, as I’m sure many of you already have, or you can join the Strong Island team and seek out sponsorship as a team. Through the Strong Island Movember page you can ask people to join the group, make donations, upload photos and post updates via the MoSpace page, Facebook and Twitter.

Head over to www.mobro.co/StrongIsland if you would like to get involved and grow a Strong Moustache to help raise awareness, or simply head over to www.uk.movember.com and sign up to personally raise money.

The funds raised in the UK support the number one and two male specific cancers – prostate and testicular cancer. The funds raised are directed to programmes run directly by Movember and our men’s health partners, The Prostate Cancer Charity and the Institute of Cancer Research. Together, these channels work together to ensure that Movember funds are supporting a broad range of innovative, world-class programmes in line with our strategic goals in the areas of awareness and education, survivorship and research.
