After a very successful event in 2005, Living Exposure, a charity photography auction and draw established to raise funds for 'Help the Hospices', is again calling for the best collectable photography in the UK.
The charity event not only ensures that all the proceeds go to 'Help the Hospices', it also recognises true 'photographic excellence' from within the industry. The event is being sponsored by Towergate Camerasure, with the help of the Association of Photographers (AOP), British Institute of Professional Photography (BIPP), Master Photographers Association (MPA), Royal Photographic Society (RPS) and WPS Media.
Photographers are invited to submit their fine art images for selection, on-line, via the Living Exposure website - www.livingexposure.co.uk The deadline for all submissions is 7th April 2006. The event, to be held at Bonham's, Bond Street, London, on 27th July will feature an exhibition of the final 200 images selected, with an additional 30 images chosen for silent auction. Up to 10 master works will be individually auctioned during the evening. Each person attending the auction will be provided with a catalogue, listing photographer contact details and a brief description of the image. Participating photographers will be invited to a private viewing on 26th July.
If your image is selected, you will be required to produce a limited edition print, from a maximum edition of 50, mounted (framed images will not be accepted) and signed. The minimum mounted size required is 24cm x 30cm and the recommended maximum is 50cm x 60cm. You must own the copyright and have the signed permission of anyone featured in the image. Full 'Terms & Conditions', of entry can be found on the website.
This event hopes to attract great media coverage for the charity, participating photographers and the industry. Not only is it a chance to donate a generous gift to charity, it will also give photographic art the attention it deserves. For more information please visit www.livingexposure.co.uk
