GREEN SHOPPING NEWSLETTER COMPETITION
PERMACULTURE PHOTOGRAPHY COMPETITION. WIN A WEEK’S HOLIDAY FOR TWO

We are offering prizes for photographs that illustrate any of permaculture’s principles or that show permaculture in action (highest resolution please, Dropbox facility available).

WIN a week’s holiday for two in Stuart and Gabrielle Anderson’s barn renovation in France, to be taken before 30th June 2016 (excluding the peak season of July and August). This prize also includes a free course such as scything, soap or sausage making.

Read all about how Stuart and Gabrielle Anderson upcycled their 200 year old cob and stone barn in the band new issue of Permaculture, Issue 83. They used a variety of materials and techniques that will inspire you to both up-cycle your own home and to want to take a break with them.

Plus, Stuart and Gabrielle are offering a 10% discount on stays for everyone who enters.

We here at Permaculture magazine are always on the look out for positive images that promote permaculture globally. So, if we go on to use one of your images in the magazine, on our website, or even on the front cover of the magazine we will be offering further prizes on books and visits here to meet the team at the Sustainability Centre. Plus, we will also present a short list of entries to the team at the Permaculture Calendar (http://permacultureprinciples.com/product/calendar/) for consideration in their annual publication.

So, what are we looking for?
Well, they have to be high quality, publishable images that as we say show permaculture in action – such as the new front cover of Permaculture 83 for example (an inspiring photograph by Susannah Hall that features the London Permablitz team planting a raised bed at the Glyndon Bloom and Berry Garden, Greenwich) – or something that illustrates any of permaculture’s twelve principles:
Observe and Interact
Catch and Store Energy
Obtain a yield
Apply Self Regulation and Accept Feedback
Use and Value Renewable Resources and Services
Produce No Waste
Design From Patterns to Details
Integrate Rather Than Segregate
Use Small and Slow Solutions
Use and Value Diversity
Use Edges and Value the Marginal
Creatively Use and Respond to Change

See Maddy Harland’s ‘What Is Permaculture?’ article in the new issue, Permaculture 83, if you are looking for further inspiration.

You may wish to present something that captures an element of Earth Care, People Care or Fair Shares, you may have something that is more artistic, more of an edge, well we are interested in those too.

We are seeking images that can help take permaculture to new audiences, to reframe how permaculture is seen and whom it can appeal too.

Send your entries to: [email protected]

Closing date Monday 30th March 2015.

The winners will be announced in PM84.

Photographs must me at least 1MB in size and preferably larger. To send them in use: https://www.hightail.com/u/Permaculture

Want to know more about the eco barn? Stuart and Gabrielle Anderson explain their renovation process in the new issue of Permaculture magazine (PM83).
