ENTRIES NOW CLOSED!
We invite photography enthusiasts and professionals from all across India to submit images that document ‘Life under Lockdown’. Participants can submit up to a maximum of 10 images; both COLOR and B/W images accepted. The current pandemic has majorly disrupted human life across the world and the ensuing global lockdown is something we were unprepared for. The impending consequences of the same can only be fathomed in it’s entirety as the future unfolds before our eyes and once life continues beyond the lockdowns into a new normal.
It is in such a backdrop that we at DEU – a photo agency – have decided to do our bit for the community through a crowd-sourced Photo Exhibition, proceeds from which shall also go to Covid-19 relief funds run by NGOs or Government Organisations.
OUTCOMES
- We aim to exhibit shortlisted and curated images in Major Cities at Key Venues & Galleries across India.
- Beyond this, we aim to publish a wider selection of images as a special edition coffee table book –
“COVID-19 in INDIA : LOCKDOWN REFLECTIONS”
{Participants with Shortlisted/Featured Images in the Coffee Table Book will get a copy of the Book carrying their work}
- All the shortlisted images (wider selection) will be displayed in the website page and gallery dedicated to this project.
