Unstaged
The extraordinary in the everyday
Blipfoto has teamed up with Channel Four Television and the National Theatre of Scotland to bring you Unstaged, a global photographic event exposing the extraordinary aspects of daily life.
To take part, you need a free blipfoto photo journal. Your competition entries will consist of up to three photographs with accompanying text. Each image must be taken and uploaded to your journal between each competition’s published start and end date.
At the close of each competition, the Blipfoto community – including participants in the competition – will be given a week to nominate the finalists. The top ten nominations then go before a judging panel for a final decision. The judging panel will include Jon Snow (Channel 4 News), Joe Tree (Blipfoto), Stuart Cosgrove (Channel 4), Vicky Featherstone (National Theatre of Scotland) and others.
“Channel 4 prides itself on taking creative risks and offering fresh perspectives. Unstaged throws down the gauntlet for budding photographers to do the same. We're delighted to be teaming up with National Theatre of Scotland and Blipfoto in launching this event.”Stuart Cosgrove, Director,
Nations & Regions, Channel 4
“Unstaged touches the core of what makes Blipfoto such a unique place. The three competitions are a massive opportunity for anyone with a digital camera to get recognised, win some prizes and engage with a wonderful community of daily photo journalists.”Joe Tree, Blipfoto.com
Nominations and final judging will be based primarily on the images, but good supportive text can enhance entries as both text and image will be presented to the community and judges. Unstaged is truly open to all – a winning entry is just as likely to come from a camera phone as an expensive digital camera.
