Photographers of all abilities and backgrounds entered the free com petition to interpret ‘Everyone is Moving – Your Journeys\, Your Neigh bourhoods’ using any medium from mobile phone cameras to DSLR and film\, to capture the unique character of the diverse neighbourhoods of the Live rpool City Region\, focusing on architecture and the built environment.\n\ nThe overall winner is Sam Jones with the photographic project titled ‘The Streets of Liverpool’.\n\n‘The Streets of Liverpool’ is a pro ject born from my desire to create compelling and lasting images of the ci ty and how it looks today for the generations to come. My aim is to docume nt the everyday scenes and stories unique to those particular areas (of th e city) and create visual time capsules for the years to come. Turning my camera away from the glamour of Liverpool’s historic town centre\, I wan ted to photograph the areas deep within the community\, which I would desc ribe as proper Liverpool.\n\nThe parts of Liverpool I choose to photograph are for me very under imagined parts of the city but contain more of Live rpool’s story and are filled with the character\, warmth and undeniable spirit so closely associated with my hometown. It has always been so compe lling for me to see how the people of these communities communicate their feelings through the streets they call home\; shaping their neighbourhoods through a shared sense of culture\, political ideologies\, arts and every day struggles. So many of the crumbling buildings and structures at the fo cal point of my images are tragically emblematic of the hardships felt by so many in the city. Although I hope these images have a powerful impact o n the viewer of today\, it is their importance in the future\, as the land scape of Liverpool grows and alters that is the driving force behind this project.’ – Sam Jones\n\nThe 2nd place was awarded to Daniel Frost  with the photographic project titled ‘What we’ve been left with’ and the 3rd place Gary Williams Smith with the photographic project titled \, ‘Life in the gaps’. Amy Sanderson\, with the project titled ‘Wid nes Town Centre’\, and Benard Piercy were awarded honourable mentions. \n\nThe winning and honourable mentions entries will be exhibited in Open Eye Gallery’s covered atrium space and Digital Window Gallery.\n\nThe ju dging panel consisted of Kudzai (EDI Expert\, Activist\, Architectural Des igner\, Educator &\; former LAF Committee Member)\, and Declan Connolly (Talent and Design Coordinator\, Open Eye Gallery) and Gerry Proctor\, MB E (Chair of Engage Liverpool CIC). The submissions were judged blindly (wi thout any entrant details) on the criteria of the\; impact of the sequence and the story it tells\, the composition of the frames and overall presen tation\, the creativity and style in response to the brief\, how successfu l the photographs represent the theme of ‘Neighbourhoods’\, how succes sful the theme of ‘Neighbourhoods’ relates to architecture and the bui lt environment and how successful the photographs capture the unique and d iverse neighbourhood of the Liverpool City Region.\n\nLiverpool Architectu re Festival 2024 (#LAF24) returns this June 1-30th\, with over 100 free-t o-attend events planned throughout the Liverpool City Region run by Liverp ool Architecture Foundation CIC. Building on previous successes\, the thir d iteration spreads its reach throughout Halton\, Knowsley\, Liverpool Sef ton\, St. Helens and Wirral. The theme ‘Neighbourhood’ is at the centr e of all activities to encourage people to interact with their local built environment.\n\nImage: Sam Jones\n\n\n ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.artinliverpool.com/wp-content/upload s/2024/05/LAF-Everyone-Is-Moving-Sam-Jones-WINNER_Page_10-1.jpg CATEGORIES:Exhibition Launch LOCATION:Open Eye Gallery\, Mann Island\, Liverpool Waterfront\, Liverpool\ , L3 1BP\, Liverpool\, United Kingdom GEO:53.40423;-2.994412 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Mann Island\, Liverpool Wat erfront\, Liverpool\, L3 1BP\, Liverpool\, United Kingdom;X-APPLE-RADIUS=1 00;X-TITLE=Open Eye Gallery:geo:53.40423,-2.994412 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VTIMEZONE TZID:Europe/London X-LIC-LOCATION:Europe/London BEGIN:DAYLIGHT DTSTART:20240331T020000 TZOFFSETFROM:+0000 TZOFFSETTO:+0100 TZNAME:BST END:DAYLIGHT END:VTIMEZONE END:VCALENDAR
