This International Women’s Day we are celebrating by launching our Powerful and Peaceful Places photography competition. Through this you can contribute your photo to build a wonderful calendar, to raise vital funds for SARSVL services, on the theme of powerful and peaceful places.
The Competition
We are asking entrants to take a photo of a place where they have felt powerful or at peace and alongside this to submit a few sentences summarising how/ why this place helped them feel powerful or peaceful.
The aim is to select 12-13 photographs and create a calendar to raise money for SARSVL. If picked, the donation of your photograph will enable us to raise funds for our charity in our winter giving campaign later this year.
Whether you are a photographer extraordinaire or a weekend snapper, this competition is open to women, girls and nonbinary people, who are comfortable with SARSVL’s woman-centred approach, 13+.
The deadline to enter is midnight on Sunday 26th April, so make sure you read the guidelines below and get snapping!
