Inspiring Salisbury

PRESS RELEASE

Inspiring Salisbury

Photographers living in and visiting Salisbury are invited to get their cameras out for an exciting summer photography competition.
Organised by Salisbury City Council and Salisbury Arts Centre, this year’s competition has the topical theme of ‘Celebrating Constable and the Landscape’.

‘Images should be a contemporary take on Salisbury’s landscape, maybe even a suggestion of the kind of photograph Constable might have taken if he had used a camera’, Polly Mason, Parks Assistant, explained. ‘Images should be of one of Salisbury’s beautiful parks or green spaces. There are categories for over and under 18 year olds and we would love photographers of all abilities to take part’.
If inspiration is needed, then the Arts Centre’s exhibition ‘A Dialogue on Landscape and Constable’ opens on the 23 June. Elsewhere, the competition also coincides with Salisbury Museum’s ‘Constable and Salisbury’.
The closing date for entries is Friday 8 July and should be sent to Polly at the City Council on CD, or via email to info@salisburycitycouncil.gov.uk.  Full details and some hints and tips are available on either www.salisburycitycouncil.gov.uk or www.salisburyartscentre.co.uk
