[crosspost on: alt.photography , rec.photo.digital.slr-systems ,

A trigger for the economy - Work in progress of an enterprise tradition" is an international photography competition to promote the economy of Bari and the Province of Bari domestically through culture and creativity. The Chamber of Commerce of Bari promotes and has devised the initiative. The competition foresees not only the awarding of prizes, but also the creation of an important exhibition and relevant catalogue. The subject of the competition The Chamber of Commerce of Bari has a historical vocation of promoting and developing the territory's economy and its most representative sectors: trade, industry, handcraft and agriculture. The bearing sectors of an economic and social fabric in which more than 161,000 companies operate. These companies, principally small and medium sized ones, are undergoing a complex moment, torn between the need to preserve their vocations, particularities and territorial traditions and the innovative and strongly competitive thrust of an increasingly globalized economy. The European integration processes first, then enlargement, the new emerging competitors, are some of the factors which most affect the traditional company organisation. A market without limits, either outside or inside the home needs a change, a growth, not necessarily in terms of size, but which is one step ahead, a flash of innovation, of professionalism, of company organisation. The photograph competition is a way for the Chamber of Commerce to document this sort of work in progress, which has involved small and medium sized enterprises from Bari through the most representative expressive means of contemporary communication: Photography. This is why the Chamber of Commerce is organising a photography competition to create a veritable forum of images to bear witness to and document these transformations, these changes, this repositioning of companies and territorial contexts. The photography competition is also aimed at creating a more constructive connection between enterprises and the world of culture, because producing culture is an excellent and courageous way of creating enterprise. Culture is economy and thus through this initiative we intend to provide a contribution to the growth of the economy of Bari, also involving art and creativity. After these introductory statements describing the final aim, the Chamber of Commerce of Bari invites the most famous emerging authors, professional and amateur photographers to dedicate themselves to this fascinating work of interpreting the above mentioned theme.
