Experimentality: Photography Competition & Exhibition at Peter Scott Gallery
Exhibition will run from 13 January - 6 February 2010 
Deadline for entries: Friday 4th December 2009.

As part of our collaboration with Lancaster University’s Institute for Advanced Studies (IAS) and their year long theme of Experimentality, the Peter Scott Gallery are delighted to launch a new photography competition. Anyone living in the Lancaster and Morecambe area can enter, young or old. Chosen by a distinguished panel, winning entries will form a public exhibition in Spring 2010. Entries should respond to the title of ‘The Experiment’. This could be a photograph of an actual or imagined experiment, or be experimental in form or content. You can use a digital or film camera, or more unusual kinds of photography (lomo, camera-less, pinhole, camera obscura etc).

How to enter
Max 1 image per entrant (composite images are fine), either as a print of on disc in jpeg format. Please do not email. Mark entries with your name, address, age and the title of photograph, and send to:-

Experimentality is the 2009-2010 Annual Research Programme of the Institute for Advanced Studies at Lancaster University, and is being delivered in collaboration with LICA and many other organisations across the Northwest of England. It is a year-long collaborative exploration of ideas and practices of experimentation in science and technology, the arts, commerce, politics, popular culture and everyday life. In a linked series of events in the Northwest of England - interdisciplinary workshops, arts events, and an international conference - it brings together leading practitioners from various fields; academics from the social and natural sciences, arts and humanities; and members of the wider public. It uses the notion of the experiment to explore vital questions about the relationship between knowledge and power, freedom and control in the modern world.
