EAST DULWICH PHOTO COMPETITION - EXHIBITION 5-6 JAN JEANNIE AVENT GALLERY

Following an incredible response from East Dulwich amateur photographers and Instagrammers, and a very difficult selection process, we are delighted to launch the East Dulwich "Me & ED" photo exhibition at the Jeannie Avent Gallery from 5-6 January 2019.

The submission process closed with a massive 411 entries, featuring a wide range of your favourite ED subjects, sent in by residents, visitors, instagrammers and photographers from the local community.

Judging took place at the end of the year, and after much deliberation and discussion, our fantastic panel of judges, comprising of residents, photographers, MPs, local businesses and artists, whittled 411 entries down to 20 winning shots.

All 411 entries, including the 20 winning shots, feature in an exhibition in the Jeannie Avent Gallery opening tomorrow and Sunday from 11am-4pm and running to 9 January 2019. We'd love you to come and check it out!

Jeannie Avent Gallery, 14 North Cross Road

These shots will also feature in an outdoor exhibition of banners mounted throughout the village, appearing in January.

We'd like to say a HUGE thank you to everyone who participated, our awesome winners, our fantastic judges and Jeannie Avent for giving us the space to show your photos!

We'll be releasing the winning shots over the next few days on Instagram at

eastDAG, can't believe you have the gall to post on here after the slatting you got last time, but you have, so here goes......... So it has taken this bunch of self appointed judges made up of a local councillor, a gallery owner, two photographers, a web site editor, an e paper editor, someone from an art club, a VA of an RA and a local retailer six months to select and "judge" 20 winners (5%) from 411 photo's!!! Really what took them so long? (oh,and no excuses, just some honest answers)

Don't repeat the fiasco and if you even consider doing it again, I'd suggest a group of professionals who know what they are up to, who can select the best pictures, who most importantly have the time, resources, capability and balls to do the job properly.

Looking forward to seeing you tomorrow D. 11am sharp!

Hello EastDAG

correct me if I am wrong , your OP stated the exhibition would run until 9th January. I passed by there today and everything had been taken down. What happened?

Kind regards

Hi Lavender

That was my mistake unfortunately. When we discussed the exhibition initially, the end date was the 9th.

However another artist needed the space for a commercial exhibition, and as Jeannie was kindly giving us the space for free, we had to cut it short. I'm really sorry about this. We MIGHT be running it again in the future if we can find the space. 411 shots take up a LOT of wall space, and I still have nightmares about the bluetack!! : )

All the entries however are here:
