The Musée de l'Elysée, a museum for photography, in Lausanne, Switzerland proposes from February to May an exhibition about "The rapid mutation of amateur photography in the digital age" called "We are all Photographers Now!".

The events wants to be interactive and invites people from all over the World to submit their photos on the exhibition's web site. A selection of pictures received will be publish then on exhibition's walls. Participants will get an email with a new photograph (what museums call an "installation view") with their photo such at it was shown on the galeries of our museum.

The event will explore and try to answer some of the following sensitive issues, such for example :

• Does the digital shift constitute a revolution, or merely an evolution?
• Does the shift represent a real democratization of photography?
• Is citizen photojournalism worthy of its name?
• Does the shift threaten the livelihood of professional photographers in fundamental ways?
• Does the shift represent a shift towards more authenticity or truthfulness — or less?
