The Museum of Barnstaple and North Devon opened this year’s Documentary Photography Open on Tuesday 22 February with the theme “Our Environment”.
The museum’s temporary exhibition gallery will host the Open until April 30th. It offers a platform for all photographers, amateurs and professionals. The exhibition features images from successful applicants who shared their favourite environments, whether they are natural, cultural, or social.
In the wake of COP26, the theme of ‘Our Environment’ was selected to reflect the impact of climate change on people’s minds. The exhibition features 40 images that were taken in North Devon. These images are meant to help answer the brief of documenting the loss in this beautiful region.
Visitors to the Open can vote for their favourite image. The winner of the poll will receive a certificate and $300 in prize money from competition sponsors.Jamaica Press.
