Simon Roberts' book Motherland, a photographric journey around the far-flung corners of Russia, is one of our favourite of all time, so naturally we were super excited to hear that he had been selected as the official election artist for the forthcoming General Election in the UK.
Simon is asking members of the public to contribute their own photographs of political activity in their area, with some going on to be exhibited in the House of Commons later this year. Click through to find out how you can take part.
SUBMIT YOUR PHOTOS
If you have a photograph relating to the 2010 UK General Election you can upload, email or text it -
UPLOAD TO : www.theelectionproject.co.uk
EMAIL TO : pics@theelectionproject.co.uk
TEXT TO : 07541 380 888
Your photographs could be of anything that is connected to the election: local party members canvassing on your street, images of the battle buses, campaign posters, crowds gathering listening to political speeches, campaign hustings in the village hall, election photo calls or photographs related to local issues that you feel should be addressed by those candidates canvassing for your vote. There is no ‘correct’ photo, so please send them in.
You can see some examples of work submitted already in the gallery here.
