Creative Freedom with the John Muir Trust

Calling writers, photographers, and artists! The John Muir Trust are asking for artists to submit their creative vision for wild places to be considered for their Creative Freedom exhibition. How does 'freedom for wild places' inspire you creatively? What is your creative response to the call of the wild places in our landscape? Submit your interpretation of freedom for wild places and you could win an artist-in-residency opportunity worth £1500. Entries close on Thursday the 30th of November.

More from the John Muir Trust about the competition:

Everyone experiences wild places in different ways; they connect with them and see them in a unique way.
As we celebrate 40 years of caring for wild places, we look to the future and wonder how our connection with wildness will change. We wonder what 'freedom for wild places' means to people from different perspectives.
To celebrate this diversity of creative visions of wild places from those who care most passionately about them, we have the following categories: writing, photography, 2D and 3D artworks, and multimedia creations. There are adult, junior and group categories, and we are encouraging entries in all languages.

This is not an ad; I'm a Trust member and believe in the work they do. I'd have entered this myself if I'd had the time!

We did a thing. And, weather and a few logistical issues aside, it was a good thing. The idea first emerged last November. Picture the scene. Kendal Mountain Festival had finished for another year, and team Sidetracked got together for an AGM. Graphs, plans, ambitions – followed by Jenny Tough'

Mountain Style: the first illustrated history of British outdoor clothing

Early this year, I noticed a new account pop up on my 'Explore' tab in Instagram. @mountainstylebook was posting images of classic mountaineering gear adverts, as well as some photos of the gear in use. Dear reader, you know me – such stuff is catnip to my brain, so
