Gravity FestivalCONTEXT The GRAVITY PHOTO CONTEST is a side event of the GRAVITY FESTIVAL, the first urban arts festival serving the planet. The first edition of the festival will take place on May 14th and 15th 2022 at Yann Arthus Bertrand's Foundation GoodPlanet in Paris.
This festival will have various aspects but the two main ones are:
- An artistical component with 10 graffiti artists, recognized at the world level, that will paint live in front of the public 10 artworks on the topic of the protection of environment. Also, visitors will have access to Vincent Munier's open air exhibition and the Planet Ocean exhibition inside the Foundation's castle.
-An informative component with two round tables by leading actors of the ecology. Also, visitors will have access to all the Foundation's workshops. The purpose of the festival is that all contributors, artists and speakers, contribute to raise awareness of the gravity of the current ecological situation. Everything is free.
GENERAL RULES The GRAVITY PHOTO CONTEST is a photographic contest open to professional and non-professional photographers from all around the world. Are excluded only the festival's organization team and Foundation GoodPlanet's team.
THEME The topic of the GRAVITY PHOTO CONTEST is “the beauty of nature” in its broadest sense. The presented photographs can either focus on environment and its protection, the ecological situation but also on the animal or vegetal world, landscapes. We add an important point, beauty alone does not really make sense, a strong message must be associated with it. Furthermore, the equipment used is of no importance in the eyes of the jury, as is the professional or amateur aspect of the photographer. We simply want to see beautiful and strong pictures of nature.
PRIZES
The twenty finalist’s photographs will be exhibited at Yann Arthus-Bertrand’s Foundation GoodPlanet in Paris during the length of the festival.
