About Ripple Effects
We want to support young people getting outside to different blue spaces, we want to hear what water means to you, and how you feel human activity is affecting the local area, for better or worse.
In partnership with the Morecambe Bay Curriculum, Global Link, The Blue Influencers Scheme and local libraries, this competition invites young people to:
- Photograph water in your local area and
- Produce a short written reflection on what these spaces mean to you (100 words or less! It could just be a sentence.)
Winning images will be chosen by a panel of young people and will form part of an exhibition trail that features across libraries in November 2024 including Lancaster Library and Lancaster University Library. More libraries tbc!
Prizes
Winners will receive to £100 worth of outdoor adventure equipment, the opportunity to have your work on display in your local library and access to a special winners' photography workshop.
If your photo is not chosen as a winning image, we hope to feature as many great photos in the exhibition trail as possible.
Competition dates
This competition will close on Friday 4 October 2024
This competition takes inspiration from the photographic competition ‘Ripple Effects: Exploring Water in Louisville’
