In partnership with FORMAT Festival, for this year’s MobFORMAT we invite submissions on theme of EVIDENCE. Selected images will be exhibited at and shared from the UK’s largest international photography festival.
Every day over 70 million photos and videos are shared on Instagram. 70 million visual connections sent into the world – evidence of our need to connect and share our lives with others.
Evidence that is always within reach, a snap and an app away from showing that we exist. Proof provided through a distant double-taps manifest through multiple vibrating notifications.
The continuous presence of an audience sets a new precedent for photography. The resulting images are visceral, responsive and rapidly evolving from new stimulus and instant feedback.
How to submit
We invite you to show us your own personal evidence by tagging #formatevidence on Instagram
Throughout the festival we will be selecting the best images submitted to #formatevidence that explore the theme of EVIDENCE in original and insightful ways. Chosen images will be printed and shown in an interactive exhibition from 13th March – 12th April 2015 as part of FORMAT International Photography Festival, Derby UK
