100 years of council housing photography competition

We’re celebrating 100 years of council housing in Camden this year with a photography competition.

We’re looking for old and new photos that tell your story of council homes in the borough. So have a look through family albums, or get snapping out and about in Camden.

There are three categories:

  • Bricks and mortar: There are 33,000 council homes in Camden, from brand new to 200 years old – get snapping the buildings that mean the most to you.
  • Home: Send us photos capturing what makes your council house home.
  • Then and now: Compare photos of your estate or neighbourhood in days gone by to photos of the same area now to show how Camden has changed.

The competition is open to anyone who lives in Camden. There will be winners in two age groups: young photographers (under 18s) and adults (18 and over).

The prizes

Winners will receive a large framed print of their photograph and have their photo featured in the Camden magazine and the virtual Camden People’s Museum. The museum will celebrate the people of Camden with stories, images, archive material, artwork and performance. Find out more about Camden Alive. The best photos will also be displayed at an exhibition in Camden.
