To celebrate Co-operatives Fortnight (25 June – 9 July 2011)wave is organising an exciting local digital photography competition based around the idea of sharing.
We want people to capture their individual response to this universal theme. This competition is open to everyone, it’s not just for professional photographers – images taken on your mobile phone are fine. We are looking for creativity and ideas rather than technical brilliance – it’s the message that’s important.
The images will be uploaded to an online gallery, and will also be exhibited in the F-ISH gallery, Robertson Street, Hastings. There will be three winners, one from the under-18 age group. Winners will be chosen by members of wave and will be announced at the opening of the exhibition on Friday 8 July. The exhibition will run until Thursday 14 July.
The three winners will receive a professionally framed print of their photograph.
The closing date is Thursday 30 June. Entries are limited to one per person. Email your entry to sharing@wave.coop, with your name and contact details as shown below:

The closing date is Thursday 30 June.

Co-operatives Fortnight
Co-operatives Fortnight (June 25 to 9 July 2011), is the annual campaign from the UKco-operative sector. It aims to raise awareness of how co-operatives businesses share their profits, give people an equal say and help build a better world.
This year, the theme ‘Yours To Share’ represents the shared ownership and the share in profits that makes co-operatives different. At the centre of this is a petition calling for government action to narrow the gap between rich and poor in the UK.
