Urmson-Burnett Photogram Prize

A photogram is an image made on a light-sensitive material without using a camera or an image forming lens. Most commonly made in a darkroom, objects placed between a light source and photo paper cast shadows which are developed and fixed, as with normal photographic print. More adventurous artists have taken the process outside, working in the landscape at night with artificial light sources. It is also possible to create photograms using other photographic processes like Cyanotype, Salt printing or Van Dyke.

This new national prize competition and exhibition celebrates the creative potential of images made without lenses.

The Urmson-Burnett Photogram Prize is a biennial, open submission exhibition, which takes place in Salisbury in February 2014, and is followed by a prestigious central London show at Silverprint, the sponsors.

Main cash award: £500

Additional Student Prize: Silverprint Cyanotype Kit and Silverprint Solar Paper

Also the opportunity to sell work through the gallery.
