King's Classics Department is hosting a competition to produce creative writing pieces of audio description (AD) that describe the Parthenon Sculptures at the British Museum.
The competition is open to King's students of all levels from all Faculties. Entries can consider the whole of the Parthenon Sculptures, individual monuments, or anything in between. Inspiration could include helping someone visualise the sculptures, providing a historical or interpretive overview, or sharing a subjective response to the artwork. Further guidance for submissions is available online.
The winner will receive £200, while second and third place will receive £100 and £50 respectively. Particular pieces may be invited to form part of a larger collection as a tour of the sculptures if there is sufficient interest.
Judges for this year's contest are:
- Tom Harrison (Keeper of the Department of Greece and Rome, British Museum)
- Sarah Howe (Lecturer in Poetry, King's College London)
- Jonny Marshall (blind art lover and Research Officer, Royal National Institute of Blind People)
- Jaime Prada (Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Manager, British Museum)
- Will Wootton (Reader in Classical Art and Archaeology, King's College London)
