The Big Read 2022-23

Welcome to the Big Read Photography Challenge! 

This year's Big Read, I Belong Here, is all about the idea of belonging and the places that we call home - physically, emotionally and even spiritually. 

Our Big Read Photo Challenge invites Sheffield Hallam staff and students to share images that celebrate where you belong, capturing what it means to live, study and work in our city.

The challenge will run from Monday 6th to Friday 10th March. Each day, there’ll be a new prompt to inspire your photographs – you can participate every day and submit as many photos as you’d like.

Prompts

Day 1: Memories
Day 2: Places
Day 3: Nature
Day 4: People

Every submission will be entered into our prize draw, and on Day 5 we’ll announce the winners and showcase the best photos from the week.

How do I get involved? 

You can submit your photos on Instagram, Twitter or TikTok with the hashtag #hallambigread. If you don't have access to social media, you can email your photo to bigread@shu.ac.uk.

On the final day we'll reshare some of the best photos from across our social media platforms.
