Photography Competition

We hope you’ve all had a great first term this autumn. Now is your chance to enter a photo into our Winter Competition. 

The theme is open, but if we have enough entries there may be winners in different categories, such as black and white, portrait and wildlife.

The top entries will be exhibited next term (dependent on getting a location organised), so the winning photographs (and a selection of others) will be enlarged at our expense.

All entries must be submitted by noon on Friday 23rd January (Week 2 in the Spring term). Digital entries may be emailed to photosoc@yusu.org (or submitted with the online form), film entries (prints) can be posted to our pigeon hole (P) in the YUSU Student Centre (ask the receptionist if you can’t find it).

Read on for the rules…
