Dear all,



*Please find enclosed below a call for creative artworks issued by the Open
and Hybrid Publishing pilot of the Europeana Space project (http://
<goog_1121117078>*europeana-space.eu*) - entries are welcome until 30 March
2016.*


*Best regards, Lieke Ploeger*



*PHOTOMEDIATIONS: A CALL FOR CREATIVE WORKS*

The editors of Photomediations: An Open Book
<http://www.photomediationsopenbook.net> are working with the Europeana
Space Best Practice Network to curate an exhibition (both online and
physical), and are calling out to the photographic community to submit
works for consideration.

We are looking for still and/or moving image works (as well as post-digital
collages, installations and sculptures), that creatively reuse – in the
form of mashups, collages, montages, tributes or pastiches – one or more
original image files taken from the Europeana repository of cultural
artefacts ( <http://www.europeana.eu>http://www.europeana.eu). Europeana
contains millions of items from a range of Europe’s leading galleries,
libraries, archives and museums: books and manuscripts, photos and
paintings, television and film, sculpture and crafts, diaries and maps,
sheet music and recordings. Renowned names such as the British Library in
London, the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam and the Louvre in Paris are featured
alongside smaller organisations across Europe. Whether you find a
celebrated piece or a lesser-known work, Europeana connects you directly to
the original source material.



How to submit your work in 4 easy steps:
1. Check out Photomediations: An Open Book
<http://www.photomediationsopenbook.net> (
<http://www.photomediationsopenbook.net>
http://www.photomediationsopenbook.net) for inspiration, both about the
concept of photomediations and about what can be done with various images.
2. Visit the Europeana repository <http://www.europeana.eu/> (
http://www.europeana.eu) and start collecting the images you wish to work
with.
3. Develop and produce your work. Use mashup, collage, montage, tribute,
pastiche, or any other technique that creatively reuses the source material
in some way. Don’t be afraid to experiment!
4. Please email your submission to <photomediations at gmail.com>
photomediations at gmail.com.



Submission is FREE. The *closing date* for the submissions is *30 March
2016*. All successful entries will be notified by the judges by the end of
April 2016. Selected entries and up to 10 honourable mentions will be
highlighted on the exhibition website and then shown in a real-life
exhibition venue. The organisers will seek to bear the print production
costs for the real-life exhibition.
