The Big Picture is a photographic competition and
exhibition for young photographers in the Eastern counties.
With the theme of Futures and Traditions, entries
are being invited for photographs that capture the essence of East
Anglia.
"We are seeking photographic works that effectively
portray the modern life and landscape of the region," said The Forum's
marketing executive Darren Cross.
"The region has a rich heritage. This is traditionally
portrayed in images of windmills, wherries and fishing boats, yet
it is also one of the most vibrant and rapidly evolving areas of
the country with new industry, populations and infrastructure.

"We're asking for photographs that capture
something of this paradox, if possible, bringing together the future
and the past in the present."
The exhibition is part of a project part-funded
by the Arts & Business New Partners Scheme which has seen the Suffolk
based brewers Adnams support events a number of events at The Forum
including The Comedy Store, open-air cinema and street theatre.
"This is a fantastic opportunity for us to help
develop the potential of young photographers," said Simon Loftus
of Adnams.
"We have a very strong sense of being rooted linked
to our community. I hope that this competition inspires others to
discover that 'sense of place' through the medium of photography,"
he added.
The competition is open to amateur photographers
aged between 18 and 25 living in Norfolk, Suffolk and Cambridgeshire.
Works must be submitted by Friday 16 April, 2004.
At which point a judging panel will shortlist
finalists to be exhibited consecutively at The Forum, Norwich Arts
Centre and Adnams' head office in Southwold from Monday 24 May.
Prizes will be on offer for the winners in three
categories.
