King’s Classics Department is hosting a competition to produce creative writing pieces of audio description (AD) that describe the Parthenon Marbles/ Sculptures exhibited 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 Marbles/ 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.
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)
The deadline for submission is Wednesday 03 April 2024, and winners will be announced in early summer 2024.
