My Father's House Photo Competition

My Father's House photographic competition addresses the theme of cultural heritage in all its forms but principally how it is manifested through a region's architecture. The project is expected to prompt debate over how heritage is valued and used, along with the effects of modernisation, industrialisation and globalisation on the Arab world. It examines the image that the fast-growing states of the Middle East are creating of themselves through their architecture and cultural heritage and how the built environment reflects the people, community, society and the nation.
The competition opens on 22nd March 2009 and closes at 6pm GMT on 31st March 2010. Selected photos will be presented at the British Council offices in London.
Welcome to the My Father's House competition, open from March 2009 to March 2010 presented by The British Council.
The theme for this competition is cultural heritage and how it is perceived in the Gulf States and the Arabian Peninsula
We challenge you to produce photographs that capture what heritage as an idea might mean to you and which respond to one of the following briefs:

Past - A Place in Time.
Present - A sense of home.
Future - Nostalgia for the Future.

Through photography, the competition aims to encourage a creative dialogue about what constitutes cultural heritage throughout the Arabian peninsula. It prompts us to think about how societies are seeking to define themselves, particularly through architecture and the built environment.
We want to see young people's creative response to the issues above.
This competition is open to residents in the following countries:
Bahrain/ Kuwait/ Qatar/ Oman/ Saudi Arabia/ The United Arab Emirates/ Yemen
