Submit your story
So what are we looking for?
Ideally, they would be images, video or cine film (converted to a video clip) from your own family albums – or shots taken with friends. The brand started in 1952, so they can be from that date right through to the present day. They might be of you at a music festival, club rally, on a beach or in your back garden. You may even choose to take a shot that has been inspired by the images you will see on this web site. This site is for you to share your affection and affiliation to Fred Perry or the many music Subcultures associated with the iconic laurel logo. These include Mods, Rudeboys, Suedeheads, Ska/Two Tone, Punk, New Wave, Casuals/Perry Boys, Britpop, Electronic/Rave and Indie/Electro clash.
If you have photos or videos of any images relating to any of these groups – we would love to see them. This is not a ‘technical’ photographic competition – so family album snaps, camera phone pics or videos have as much chance of winning as a technically proficient shot. You can upload more than one image/video – if you choose.
Your stories
To put the images or video in context, we are asking you to write a few short words on how you came to take the picture or video. This will be a maximum of 250 words, but can just be a few lines. The combination of the image, and how interesting the background story is, will form part of the final judging process. For example this might be ‘me and my best mate Stan at a Wigan Casino Northern Soul All Nighter in 1979. I’m in my favourite Black Yellow/Yellow Fred Perry.’
Uploading
You can submit your favourite Fred Perry image/video in 2 easy steps. Just choose the applicable link to the right. For full details of what kind of images we are looking for, please read the Competition Info section. This gives full details on what you may choose to upload, the prizes and the judging process.
