LONDON, December 10, 2018 /PRNewswire/ --
BE OPEN, a creative think-tank founded by the international
entrepreneur and philanthropist Elena Baturina, has selected
the winner of its latest global open call across social media.
The open call named 'BEOPEN in RGB' presented the perfect
opportunity for those creative minds around the globe who find
inspiration in the everyday world, are able to transform it into
their own unique vision, and even change the way other people see
it as well. By asking the participants to share their vision in the
most graphic form, BE OPEN aims to find innovative approaches and
build new creative bonds for people around the globe.
This time, BE OPEN invited everyone to go back to the basics of
colour photography and videography to find inspiration for today's
creative works. The RGB colour model was developed based
on the theories of trichromatic color vision that first appeared
mid-19th century. Already in 1861 the first ever permanent
colour photograph was taken by J.C. Maxwell using three
filters, specifically red, green, and violet-blue.
To celebrate that, the participants shared the relevant visuals
centered round the simple palette of red, green and blue via
Instagram with the #BEOPENinRGB hashtag, as a way to celebrate
people's ability to creatively interpret the reality around
them.
The submissions closed November 30, 2018. After a few days
of discussing dozens of outstanding entries from all over the
world, BE OPEN sends most cordial congratulations to Butron
Delcastel @butron_dc, a remarkable street artist from Spain, for the winning image of a
colour-changing owl painted with fluorescent spray. The winner will
now receive the prize of €300.
BE OPEN thanks all the participants for the truly amazing
submissions to this challenge!
