 Our outside photography contest recommendation of the day! Photography started as a chemical experiment. However, the acknowledged inventor of the process, Thomas Wedgwood, was the son and grandson of famous English potters. His entire life he was surrounded by artists, creators. Wedgwoods pals were William Wordsworth and Samuel Taylor Coleridge. So, it is not unusual or unexpected that creative folks have taken his work and run with it. For many photographers it’s about the camera, for others it’s about what can be birthed once it leaves the thing and for others it is the possibility of making images that are miraculous orphans.

 Our free photography contest recommendation of the day! The Muhammad Ali Center is honored to announce the topic of its seventh annual “Shining a Light” International Photography Contest and subsequent exhibition, titled Women’s Fight for the Right.
As 2020 is the centennial anniversary of the ratification of the United States’ 19th constitutional amendment and the 55th anniversary of the Voting Rights Act, the Muhammad Ali Center is commemorating this occasion with Women’s Fight for the Right, in hopes that it will honor the women around the world who have fought and continue to fight for the right to vote without bias, without discrimination, without violence, and without fear. The contest host will produce a documentary-style exhibition, which will be exhibited at the Muhammad Ali Center in Louisville, Kentucky beginning March 8, 2020. CONTEST THEME "Shining a Light: Women’s Fight for the Right" The 19th Amendment states, “The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of sex.” To commemorate this centennial anniversary, Women’s Fight for the Right will focus on women’s suffrage on a global scale, explore the narrative of suffrage, and reflect on women who have fought, throughout history and all over the world, for political representation and the right to participate in politics.

 Our free photography contest recommendation of the day! The photo competition will close on 5 June 2019. Winners will be announced on Global Wind Day – 15 June 2019. We need to act now to stop climate change!
We need to protect the environment and save the planet for future generations. Wind energy can help! So how can we achieve this brighter future together? We can do this by changing our electricity and fuel supplies from toxic fossil fuels to clean and renewable sources like wind energy. Wind energy is the cleanest and cheapest source of electricity generation. Higher shares of wind energy in our energy mix means lower CO2 emissions. More and more people are taking action. So what can you do today? One positive step you can take is to support more clean wind energy. This Global Wind Day we want to tell the world that wind energy can slash emissions, improve air quality and create thousands of jobs. That wind energy is the energy for now and the future. As part of the Global Wind Day activities, WindEurope and the Global Wind Energy Council (GWEC) have launched a global photo competition: “Future Wind.” Creativity, content, composition and technique as well as a compelling story behind your photograph are the key criteria for the judges. There are 4 categories People and Wind, Working in Wind, Beautiful Wind and Beyond Wind. The first prize winner from each category will receive €1,000  Our free photography contest recommendation of the day! Diversity is at the heart of what it means to be an artist.
