Call For Submissions
Melissa Harrison is a novelist, journalist and broadcaster. Her connections to Dartmoor stretch back to her childhood and continue to this day. Melissa has kindly agreed to set the theme for our third photozine and will be curating the final selection of images.
The Brief
Care: noun.
1. The provision of what is necessary for the health, welfare, maintenance and protection of someone or something.
2. Serious attention or consideration applied to doing something correctly.
People who don’t know Dartmoor often describe it as ‘bleak’, ‘remote’ or ‘featureless’, as though it’s a landscape unmarked by human care and attention, and empty of any kind of feeling. Anyone who knows it well knows that to be untrue. From the quiet pride in workmanship evidenced by a perfectly constructed drystone wall or ornate gate latch to the protection shown to (and by) the moor’s livestock and wild creatures, in this and previous eras, the marks of care are everywhere. As, of course, is evidence of its lack: uncared-for structures left to collapse, livestock casualties, and the careless results of some kinds of human activities. Care is the result of conscious, positive intention and feeling, and the traces it leaves on a place can be profoundly moving.

How to Submit
We are calling for photographers to submit interesting and original images which explore the themes highlighted in Melissa’s brief and which provide a fresh and unique perspective on Dartmoor.
Submissions are open from Monday the 14th December 2020 to Sunday the 1st August 2021.
You can submit images either by using the hashtag #caredartmoor on Instagram or Twitter, or by email to admin@dartmoorcollective.org.
By submitting an image for consideration you agree to the Terms and Conditions listed below.
Anyone can enter.
There is no limit to the number of images you can submit.
There are no entry fees.
Images must be taken within the Dartmoor National Park, although they do not have to have been taken recently.
Working as a team together with the curator and the designer, we will compile a shortlist of photographs that meet the theme in the most interesting ways, and that work together as a whole within the photozine.
Everyone who has been shortlisted will be contacted with a request for original high resolution images.
From this shortlist, we will then make the final selection for publication from the original images received on time and to the required standard of quality.
Everyone who is included will receive a free copy of the photozine.
You can buy a copy of the previous Dartmoor Collective photozines ‘Water’ and ‘A Worked Landscape’ from our online shop by following the link below.
