THE popular Culture@Kearsney art exhibition and photographic competition are planned to go ahead next month as part of Kearsney College’s centenary year. High school and primary school photographers are urged to submit their entries in the various categories of Documenting our Lives before the deadline on Friday, 21 May.
This year, the two elements will be combined at the photographic prize-giving on Tuesday, 8 June, which will allow artists and photographers to view each other’s talent.
The seven categories for high school photographers are wildlife, objects in space, people portrait in black and white, a moment to remember, fashion, architecture and dusk to dawn. Categories for primary school photographers are garden life and objects in space.

There is no limitation on the camera equipment that can be used, as long as it is capable of producing an image of at least 1MB in size. The competition encourages photographers to use their mobile devices (iPad, tablet, cell phone or Go–Pro) or DSLR cameras.
All images submitted must be originals taken since 1 August last year. Rules and details for the competition are available online at www.kearsney.com and there are great prizes to be won.
The judging panel comprises independent leaders in the visual arts industry who have no affiliation to Kearsney or any school that submits work.
The annual Culture@Kearsney programme is a celebration of the vibrant and dynamic arts scene in KZN schools. It aims to enrich the development of the arts in all its forms – including one-act plays, poetry, dance and a choral festival.
