GET INVOLVED

Get interactive online

Lens caps off. Browsers ready. Look11 is now live and interactive! So there is no need to wait until 2011 to get involved. Our user led website is all inclusive and interactive, passing ownership to you the audience through international blogs and forums, where we want to give you the freedom to communicate what you’re passionate about in the creative sector, around photography and about social justice issues.

Look11 is also inclusive of our own facebook, twitter and flikr pages, so that you can discuss, debate, challenge, tweet, post and poke until your heart’s content.

You can even upload your own photographs, with the opportunity to have your work featured on our website. Watch this space for more details.

Take photographs

As we approach the second decade of the 21st century, photography continues to be deployed to bear witness and to make the case for change. In various guises, from ‘concerned’ reportage and social documentary to activist networks and citizen journalism, photographers, artists and campaigners give photography a central place in their calls to action.

Go on, pick up a camera! It really has never been easier, and you too can ‘have something to say’ and be a part of Look11’s progressive drive for photography.

With an array of projects and competitions brewing for 2011, we want everyone from the mobile snapper, to the serious shooter, to respond to our ‘call to action’ theme by taking photographs! Watch this space for more details, and keep an eye on the ‘competition’ section of our homepage.

OrganiSe an event- A Call to Action?

The theme for look11 is ‘A Call to Action?’ and focusing on all different aspects of social justice from the environment to community cohesion through to local policy and international conflict. If you are part of a group or organisation that is active around social justice agendas we would like to hear from you. Would you like to organise your meeting in a gallery space, give a presentation of your research, hold a public debate or simply share your passion for social action? Get in contact with the festival team to find out more.

Look11 is an inclusive festival and you don’t have to be a professional photographer to enjoy the wide range of events that will be taking place. There will be different routes around the festival too so if your group is planning on a visit get in touch with the festival team to find out how to make the most of a ‘group visit’.
