Olympus UK are providing top of the range digital cameras for the Overall winners prizes. The Best Overall Photo - all ages will receive a Digital SLR camera.
The photography competition is part of the Living Together project, a British Council initiative which aims to strengthen and promote social cohesion and active citizenship. The project is being delivered in over 15 countries, with the support of the Council of Europe, within the framework of the European Year of Intercultural Dialogue. The concept of ‘living together’ is pertinent in Europe, where increasingly complex and diverse societies have emerged as a result of migration. The project has a focus on the impact of new migrant communities on their home and receiving societies; and on the visibility of minority communities in public life.
