Held at Midhurst Rother College each student was asked for three photographs in colour or black and white.

Andrew Haywood MRC’s new photography head opened the competition to all photographers who were judged internally to get to the final 12. These were judged by sponsor and professional photographer Micheal Chevis who was helped by photographer Steve Morley and former MRC principal Dr Joe Vitagliano.

“Judges commented on the very high standard of entries,” said Helen.
