Annual Competition: 2½ weeks left

The Cambridge Admissions Office invites you to enter its annual student photography competition.

The theme this year is ‘Cambridge Student Life: More than just punting?’ and we’re looking for images that show all of the different aspects of student life at Cambridge (eg social/recreational activities, clubs and societies, College life etc).  Entries could show moments of day-to-day (or night) life or particular events or occasions.

First prize is £100 of vouchers (from a choice of Jessops, Waterstones or John Lewis) and a one-to-one masterclass with a professional photographer.  There are also two runners up prizes of £100 of vouchers.

The competition is open to all current undergraduate students at the University of Cambridge and the closing date is Friday 25 November 2011.  There’s no limit to the number of photographs a student can submit and they don’t have to have been taken in the current year of study (please note that all images must be high resolution – at least 300 dpi).

Full details and rules…

[CLOSED] Cambridge Round the Clock – Student Photography Competition

Cambridge Admissions Office invites you to enter its annual University-wide photography competition.

This year the competition is entitled ‘Cambridge Round the Clock’ and we’re hoping to receive images which illustrate how students see their life in Cambridge at different times of the day and night. Once again, we hope to use the images in our printed and online publications.

And this time there’s an added twist. Not only will we be looking for images which showcase strong photography skills, but we’re also looking for images that have been creatively and digitally enhanced. Prizes will be awarded for the best image in both categories (natural/unaltered, and artistically enhanced) and also a prize for the best image overall. Up for grabs is a master class with a professional photographer and £100 of vouchers for either Jessops, Waterstones of John Lewis.

The deadline for entries is Friday 26 November 2010 and more information can be found on our website http://www.cam.ac.uk/admissions/undergraduate/photocomp/

Guest Speaker: Charles Gervais

Charles is a professional photographer specialising in fashion, jewellery and weddings. He will be speaking to us about a fortnight-long shoot that he has recently done, which in his own words “has everything: clients, gold and diamonds, studios, big lights, models, makeup, tons of post-processing, plus intrigue, mystery and excitement”. Don’t miss out on this amazing talk!

Friday 22nd October, 7:30pm
