The deadline for the annual FE Week and Me student photography competition, in partnership with NCFE has been extended to February 1, 2016 at 17:00.
FE Week has once again teamed up with NCFE to find stunning pictures that depict learning environments in the FE and skills sector, through the eyes of students.
In 2015, after over 500 submissions, FE Week and competition sponsors NCFE and supporters Royal Photographic Society, whittled down the photography students’ entries to the competition down to 10 finalists.
Mikaela Mae Cobby, an 18-year-old photography level three extended diploma learner at Stoke-on-Trent College, was one of 10 entrants shortlisted in the photography student category, and after 2,562 votes were cast online, was crowned the winner.
In her entry, (pictured left) one of more than 980 across the photography student and non-photography student categories, Mikaela used a joiner image to show the different stages of a girl’s educational life, against the backdrop of a zebra crossing.
This year there are two categories of entry: photography student and non-photography student.
This year’s prizes will consist of:
Category – Photography student – Nikon D5200 Camera Kit and work shadowing placement with a professional photographer.
Category – Non-photography student – Panasonic LUMIX DMC-TZ80EB
