People’s Landscapes Video Contest “Landscape in Action”
1 February 2016 - 1 May 2016 @ 17:00
1st Edition 2016, Extended deadline 26 June 2016
Since 2010, UNISCAPE has been organizing a photo contest called “People’s Landscapes”, which has thus far involved hundreds of European university students, bringing together an iconic archive on landscape, re ecting the values envisaged in the ELC.
This year People’s Landscapes will be a short video contest, in which participants are encouraged to use dynamic media as a tool to communicate the evolution of landscapes and the life force within them. This year’s contest is entitled “Landscape in Action” and coincides with the Inter- national Conference: “Landscape Values: Places and Praxis”, to be held in Galway, Ireland, from 29th June to 2nd July 2016.
NATURE AND AIMS OF THE COMPETITION
PEOPLE’S LANDSCAPES VIDEO CONTEST “LANDSCAPE IN ACTION” is an OPEN competition addressed to students from 18 to 35 years old a ending any European university. It aims to gather short video clips that comprise innovative overviews on the issue of “Landscape Values: Place and Praxis” which is also the topic of the next International Conference sponsored by UNISCAPE in Galway, Ireland (29 June- 2 July).
UNISCAPE considers this an occasion not only to involve students in the discussion about Landscape Values, but also to act as a powerful tool to communicate the principles of the European Landscape Convention and evoke the theme of the conference through images and text. Since 2009, in fact, UNISCAPE has encouraged students to participate in the di usion of the European Landscape Convention by sharing and integrating their particular perception of landscape through photography. This year the competition proposes a new challenge by asking to students to come up with a more complex project that can be er re ect the com- plexity of landscape de ned in the ELC: “an area, as perceived by people, whose character is the result of the action and interaction of natural and/or human factors”.
