Play develops us as children, it shapes how we interact with each other, informs how we handle difficult situations, it develops us creatively, and fosters imagination.

Our next issue will take a broad look at the importance of Play and seek to answer questions in relation to the arts, our wellbeing, the healthy development of children and the growth of new ideas.

We’re looking for photographic projects that explore these topics, through playful experimentation and inquisitive thinking.

How does Play change when we grow up?

What is the impact of technology on Play?

What routes of Play do we seek as adults?

How does Play benefit our wellbeing?

Are our cities stifling free play?

What relief does Play provide in our current climate?

We’re looking for still life, fashion, documentary, portraiture or any other lens-based work.
