[[Culture (from the Latin cultura stemming from colere, meaning "to cultivate,") generally refers to patterns of human activity and the symbolic structures that give such activity significance. Different definitions of "culture" reflect different theoretical bases for understanding, or criteria for evaluating, human activity. In general, the term culture denotes the whole product of an individual, group or society of intelligent beings. It includes technology, art, science, as well as moral systems and the characteristic behaviors and habits of the selected intelligent entities]]
Taken from wickipeadia: so therefore any activity we do is cultural and any group activity is an event.... Shoping, going to church, weddingds, funerals,going to the pub, parties and I would even say giving someone the finger.. We all use transport and therefore car crashes are part of our culture as is drink driving. we have drug culture. dress cullture food culture and the list goes on and on.

Yeah, because anyone who feels a picture of someone flipping you the bird is a pedantic weirdo.
Yep, I guess I'll be just that when voting this one. ;-) |
There was a certain irony in what i said... i find it amusing that a lot of DNMC people are being pedantic when truly being pedantic would reveal there was no DNMC to consider in the first place... |

i'm sure if you take a photo of someone walking out of a shopping mall with a load of bags from various shops that it would be somehow a cultural event... DNMC pedantic weirdos might see it otherwise but whatever...
from chambers:
culture noun 1 the customs, ideas, values, etc of a particular civilization, society or social group, especially at a particular time. 2 appreciation of art, music, literature, etc.
Basically that covers everything one does when coupled with the word "event":
event noun 1 something that occurs or happens; an incident, especially a significant one. 2 an item in a programme of sports, etc.

I would say that in general Holy Communion was religious, but the ceremonies - the parades,the clothes, the tea parties and so on - for First Communion was definitely a cultural event. |

I would think of it as just religious. I don't know how others might see it. |

He, he, you can try. The "event" part might fit, I'm not so sure about the "cultural". :) |

There are no restrictions. The important thing is that your image actually says to the viewer, "This is a cultural event." If the viewers can't see it as a cultural event, then it likely won't work.
Hope this helps. |
It does.
Thank you very much.

I'm finding it impossible to think of a shot to enter. Living in a small town of 2000 people with one main industry and noone is doing anything is making it hard. Plus I am stuck at home for the next week. What to do!?
Edit spelling.
By the way is it considered good or bad manners to edit a post and not note the reason like I have just done?

I guess you could submit a sports shot as a cultural event ... who knows, maybe you'd win an oobie. |
I rode the short yellow bus to school... ;-) |
