ENTRIES for a prestigious photographic competition will be held in Bradford. The National Science and Media Museum is set to host entries to the Yorkshire Photographic Union competition for the first time, including prints from 2020’s competition as well as the digital images selected from this year’s contest. The Union’s annual exhibition, held at a different venue each year, showcases selected images from its membership. This year’s show is titled In Pursuit of Perfection. Due to lockdown, it combines both 2020 print and 2021 digital competition entries and will first launch on the museum’s website with the 2020 prints on Friday April 16, before physically opening to the public with the full selection of images once Government guidelines allow.

In addition, the new market square will host ad-hoc commercial, leisure and community events throughout the year. A release from the Council said: The market’s hot food and drink offer will provide seating for up to 500 customers and include a stage for day and evening entertainment. The hot food offer which will follow an independent, street food style concept, will provide informal indoor and outdoor communal seating to allow customers to linger and experience the theatre of markets. Councillor Alex Ross-Shaw commented: “We’re delighted Kier are joining the team to deliver Darley Street Market and reshape such a historic part of Bradford city centre. Their commitment to social value through apprenticeships and school and colleges are a real testament to the Council’s social value policy when contracting partners and it’s great to have them on board.
