Art of Photography Show - by Artists for Artists

Artists' Bill of Rights and The Art of Photography Show got talking recently and recognised that we were kindred spirits, each passionate about promoting artists, their work, and their rights. In the last four years our campaign has brought us into contact with a lot of great organisations and people, and in this latest instance, Steven Churchill, Producer of the Art of Photography Show.

Photographer Judge Resigns from 'Contest'

On 19th December we published a story about Random House Group, the largest general interest trade publisher in the world. They want photographers to supply, for free, a cover photograph for a new edition of Charles Dickens' Oliver Twist story. Random House presented the 'work for free' project as a 'competition' entitled "shoot a cover for a new Vintage edition of Oliver Twist". However, it is a competition with no prize for the winner, nor any payment for work done, nor any royalties for the use of the winners work, the winner also has to waive their moral rights. Three judges were originally listed for this contest, now only two are listed.

Show Me the Monet; Improved Terms & Conditions

About three weeks ago we published a story concerning the BBC TV show "Show Me the Monet". The BBC have commissioned a second ten part series of this program from Lucky Day Productions. The program will follow the fortunes of artists from the UK as they compete for a place at the 'Show Me the Monet' exhibition which will be held at the Royal College of Art in London. Our story reported a number of concerns with the terms and conditions that artists had to comply with in order to participate in the competition.
