Photography competition for all students and staff

The new Belong Photography Competition is now open for all students and staff. Submit your image before 3 March for a chance to win a £100 gift voucher.

What’s the theme? 

This competition is all about community and belonging. It’s open to everyone, regardless of subject, level of study, or whether you study on-campus or online.

Participants are asked to capture a moment that signifies their connection to the University. It could be your daily stroll across campus, a quiet moment over coffee, or a lively event that brought a smile.

Your image should show the University from your unique perspective, and illustrate what makes it special to you. Submissions will feature in an exhibition at the Playfair Library, and your image may be used by the University in print and online.

Prizes 

Prizes will be awarded to the winner and runner-up from both the student and staff categories. 

  • 1st prize in each category: £100 gift voucher 
  • 2nd prize in each category: £50 gift voucher 

Entries will be judged by a panel of creative professionals, artists and student representatives. 

How to enter 

Upload your image with our online form before 3 March. We look forward to seeing your submissions and the stories they tell.

 

This competition is organised by the Sense of Belonging Group. The group is focused on improving student and staff belonging to positively impact on engagement, inclusivity and happiness.
