Photography competition 2009 – Books, words and letters
Our photography competition this year is about reading the world around you. Look through your camera lens and show us the books, words and letters that you pass every day. Tell a story through pictures.
Words are everywhere: newspaper headlines, packaging, text messages, songs… And yet sometimes the more signs we see or conversations we hear, the less we notice them.
How to enter
