South Lewisham has many stories to tell, from being home to Europe’s largest black-led community self-build, to having London’s last estate of World War Two prefab houses. We’re inviting under 25s living in the borough of Lewisham to show off your photography skills and tell the stories of the neighbourhood through your camera lens during Open House Festival 2026.
You don’t need to be a professional or have done any photography before. Whether it’s on a camera or your phone, we want to see the South of Lewisham through your eyes. Spanning Catford, Bellingham and Downham, The past, present and future of South Lewisham neighbourhood features iconic buildings like the Broadway Theatre, along with community gardens, private homes, churches and libraries. Your entry should spotlight the charm and stories of one or more of these locations. Remember to notice the small details; the way light and shadow play, how patterns repeat or how angles collide and try to capture how it feels being in these places.
