125 MAGAZINE
125 magazine is an independently published 300 page bi-annual photography publication which acts as a showcase for new work and ideas from a cross section of emerging and established artists that it is not possible to produce in more conventional publications. Since its creation in 2003, the magazine has published photography and illustration by over two hundred contributors - and staged exhibitions in London, New York and Tokyo, with other European cities upcoming. The magazine's staff work tirelessly to maintain the publication's long-established ethos of ideas, individuality and independence in a market which is increasingly generic and they are looking for like-minded businesses interested in an association with 125 as a sponsor and partner in the many events, books and other projects which they are constantly working on.

URBAN EARTH
This summer, geographer Daniel Raven-Ellison will walk across seven of Earth's largest cities to produce Urban Earth. "In 2008, the world reaches an invisible but momentous milestone: for the first time in history, more than half its human population, 3.3 billion people, will be living in urban areas. By 2030, this is expected to swell to almost 5 billion. Many of the new urbanites will be poor. Their future, the future of cities in developing countries, the future of humanity itself, all depend very much on decisions made now in preparation for this growth", UN State of the World Population Report 2007. Daniel will capture the year in which Earth's human population turned urban by photographing every one hundred metres of his 700km journey across the metropolitan areas of New York, Sao Paulo, Moscow, Lagos, Mumbai, Jakarta and Tokyo. Presently two television producers have shown interest in following what promises to be an exciting adventure. In addition to capturing the imagination of the general public, Daniel will publish for free the film and photographs along with guidance for teachers to use the resources in schools across the world. Urban Earth promises to be a low cost, high impact opportunity. Offers of sponsorship are now open for Urban Earth. In return for sponsoring Urban Earth sponsors will: 1. have shared copyright over the photographs and final film; 2. have their company name and logo in the film credits; 3. have their company name and logo on the website and educational resources that will be made freely available to teachers and educators around the world; 4. have access to Daniel Raven-Ellison for publicity and marketing opportunities; 5. be the sole sponsor of Urban Earth. "If you have any questions, thoughts or ideas do not hesitate in getting in contact". Contact: Daniel Raven-Ellison. Address: 1 Redhank Court, Pound Lane, Thatcham, Berkshire RG19 3UE.

CONCERN WORLDWIDE
Following on from the success of Nature's Fury, an exhibition of photographs from the Pakistan earthquake that was shown at the 2006 Mela, Concern Worldwide and the London Mela are furthering their collaborative partnership for 2007. Concern are seeking a chief sponsor for a new project: myAsiaSpace (www.myAsiaSpace.net). myAsiaSpace is a project devised to promote international links and greater understanding between young people in the UK and overseas. Initially, in this pilot phase, the participants will be based in London and Bangladesh. Out of Focus, a project undertaken by the Drik picture agency in Bangladesh, explores images taken by children that address issues such as inequality and exploitation. Images remain a powerful tool of communication and entertainment and this is the medium with which myAsiaSpace will be most concerned. Using camera phones, digital cameras or traditional cameras, myAsiaSpace asks young people aged 14 -16 to capture an image which most encapsulates a part of their life here in London - and upload it to the site. Eight finalists will be chosen by a panel, and those winners will receive digital camera training with an award-winning photojournalist. During the training workshops, photos from the Out of Focus project will be used to stimulate learning and debate about global issues. The finalists then have two days with a camera to snap their final photos. The best of those pictures will be enlarged and shown at the 2007 London Mela, along with a selection of photos from Out of Focus, where an overall London winner will be chosen. Following the premiering of the work at the London Mela there will be opportunities to tour the exhibition to other venues and Melas during 2008. Concern Worldwide is a non-governmental, international, humanitarian organisation working in twenty-nine of the world's least-developed countries on both emergency relief and long term development programmes. The organisation works with the poorest people - often women and children - on a range of projects including health, water and sanitation, agriculture and HIV. The London Mela, first established in 2003 with an initiative from the Mayor of London, is a free, outdoor festival showcasing world class music, dance, and visual arts. It was described by The Independent as one of the most colourful and entertaining events on the country's cultural calendar and has subsequently grown to become one of the most important melas in Europe.
