Living with Environmental Change : LWEC Partnership

I am currently project managing a project on health and climate for an organisation called the Living With Environmental Change (LWEC) Partnership. This is an organisation of 22 public sector organisations that fund, carry out and use environmental research and observations.

For the project that I am managing, we have to produce something called a climate change report card, which is a 20-24 page document outlining the main impacts to health as a result of a changing climate. This document, available as a hard copy or off the internet, will be made available to all organisations and individuals who have an interest in health and climate change. It will probably be launched in the House of Commons in July, and as with previous report cards, may feature on that days television news.

As part of the production of this card, we need a number of high quality original photographs relating to the themes in the card that enhances the reading experience. For previous cards, which were on biodiversity and water, this was quite easy. These are available here if you want a look http://www.lwec.org.uk/resources/report-cards. However, for health, few suitable images exists, so we have decided to run a photography competition to see if we can uncover suitable images. This competition will have three prizes that can’t be money, but will have monetary values of £200, £100 and £50.

A crucial role in terms of running this competition is advertising the competition, and I was wondering if it would be possible to advertise this contest via your website, which I assume would probably be by direct contact with the different photographic societies, or any other way that you feel would be suitable. We have drafted the details of the competition for the LWEC website and the rules, and could forward these to you if you want (tweaking these slightly for a different media).
Thanks for your time in reading this email, and I look forward to your response
Best regards

An Invitation from Chichester Camera Club

Members of your Club are cordially invited to Chichester Camera Club’s thirteenth advanced members’ exhibition to be held on Saturday, 18th January 2014 at the North Mundham Village Hall. The exhibition will be open between 10 am and 5 pm with refreshments, light lunches and teas available throughout the day. If anyone cannot make it on the Saturday, we will be open on the following day (Sunday) between 10:00 am and 4:00 pm. We will have soup and a roll, tea and coffee available on that day; however, access to the exhibitors may be limited.

Print exhibitors have had the choice of varying screen spaces with the freedom to display virtually any type of work they wish with no rules on size, subject matter technique, etc. whilst PDI workers are each allowed to have up to 6 images projected, again with no subject ruling. Based on our previous, similar exhibitions, this freedom of choice has resulted in a considerable display of artistic talent. The day has also proved to be a great social occasion.

This year we are pleased to announce that the North Mundham Village Hall has been expanded. This means that we will be able to accommodate more advanced workers and that our visitors will have more space in which to view the displays.

We hope you will be able to visit us and look forward to meeting you on the 18thJanuary. See our web site at
