Your People, Your Places, Your Things

YPYPYT 2021

Competition for UK based FE students of Photography and the Visual Arts.

This competition was open to students of photography and visual arts subjects aged 16 or over and in full-time further education at schools or colleges in the United Kingdom. Students were asked to submit their favourite portrait, landscape and still life photographs.

We would like to thank and congratulate the 24 finalists whose work you can see in this magazine as well as those students whose work has been highly commended and will be shown on our BA Photography Website. However, we also wish to thank all the students who submitted the many wonderful entries from around the country. All the judges commented on the quality of images, how hard it was to make decisions and how much they enjoyed seeing the work from the 260 entries we received.

Congratulations to Tilly Reed from New College in Doncaster for her still life entry that has won the Your Things category and to Courtney Blackman from Farnborough Sixth Form College for her winning image in the Your People category of the competition.

A huge well done to Alexander Phocas from Godalming College for his landscape image that not only wins the best in the Your Places category but is the overall winner of the competition.

Thank you to Metro Imaging (https://metroimaging.co.uk) for supporting the competition and providing 12 shortlisted finalists with a C-Type digital print of their work.

And thank you to the students, alumni and staff for their time and diligence in judging the competition.
