Stoke-on-Trent College learner Mikaela Mae Cobby is the winner of this year’s FE Week and Me Photography Competition.
The 18-year-old, who is in her second year of a level three extended diploma, received more than 41 per cent of 2,562 votes cast online in the photography student category.
She has won a Nikon D5100 Camera Kit and the opportunity to shadow a professional FE Week photographer.
Mikaela said: “I was really surprised. I have never really entered something like this before so to find out I had won was quite a shock.”
Shane Mann, managing director of Lsect, which publishes FE Week, was one of the judges. He said: “What I really liked was that it showed her evolution from a child into a college learner and the freedoms which were expressed in how she could wear her own clothes and was no longer constrained by things like uniform and had become herself.”
