In collaboration with the Bill Brown Creative Workshops, the Master, Professor Sharon Peacock, would like to invite students, Fellows and staff from the Churchill College community to enter a photo competition.
There are three themed categories:
- ‘My Churchill’ – an image which represents the College, or life at College, to you
- Light – capturing or using light around the College in striking or unusual ways
- Angles – find interesting angles, or new angles from which to look at things, around College
You may submit any photo, as long as it is connected to the College in some way.
Each themed category will have a winner and a runner-up, with one image selected to feature on the Master’s Christmas card.
There will also be a ‘A ‘People’s Choice’ winner, selected by the College community.
Each winner will have their photograph printed and displayed in the Bill Brown Creative Workshops.
Winners and runners-up may have their photos featured in the Churchill College wall calendar.
The deadline for entry is the 2nd June 2025.
The winners will be announced after a panel selection on Friday 16th June 2025.
Please read the submission requirements before submitting.
Please submit your photo as an attachment via email to: [email protected]. Each submission should contain your name, the theme selected, the photo’s title, and a brief description. If you submit more than one photo, each submission should be emailed separately.
