Flickr Team Up with Tate Britain

Flickr and Tate Britain are running a joint project that encourages Flickr users to document the changing face of Britain. From the Flickr site:

... the in-gallery part of the project has just gone live, so people who visit the gallery can now see photos from the group pool on big plasma screens. There is also an online component at Tate Online, where you can see submissions for the project in slideshows separated into the 4 themes.

There are some wonderful photos already, and the pool will remain open for submissions until the 25th of July, 2007. (Here are the submission guidelines.) The exhibition itself will run from today until the 2nd of September.

From the Tate Britain web site:

Ultimately, this is a treasure trove for any one who loves photography, and presents the extraordinary variety, breadth and idiosyncratic nature of one-and-a-half centuries of image making.

For the first time, Tate Britain is inviting members of the public to contribute to the content of an exhibition. How We Are Now invites you to add your photograph to the exhibition through the community and photo-sharing website Flickr.
