a positive frame of mind - Scotland's 'see me' photo competition What's happening'see me', Scotland's national campaign to end the stigma and discrimination of mental ill-health, is organising a number of local/regional photo exhibitions in collaboration with the Scottish Mental Health Arts and Film Festival. These exhibitions will be hosted by some of their local partner organisations during Scottish Mental Health Week - 6-12 October 2008. See me will post a list of the hosting organisations on their website during August.There are prizes for three winners from each of the local exhibitions, and these winning photos will be entered in the national exhibition hosted by 'see me' on its website in November 2008. How can you take part in this?You will need to take photos over the next month and a half, and send your favourites to one of the local organisations who will be hosting an exhibition. A list of these organisations will be posted on the 'see me' website during August 2008. See me will also promote the exhibition through posters, each showing contact details for the nearest local hosting organisation.What kind of photos are they looking for?There are two categories for the photos:"Mentally Positive" - this incorporates aspects like positive mental well-being; recovery; things that people do to keep mentally healthy. "Through Thick and Thin" - this concentrates on the support that people who experience mental health problems receive from their friends, family and colleagues. Ideally the photos would be about both the person with experience of mental health problems and their supporter(s). Closing date for entries is Tuesday 23rd September. Visit the ‘see me’ website to find out more about prizes, read the guidelines and print out an entry form. View or download the competition poster (PDF).
