Social Justice Photography Competition 2018 winners announced
09 May 2018
The winners of the Social Justice Photography Competition were announced at a recent event to celebrate Volunteering and Social Justice
The event took place in the Whitworth Hall and President & Vice Chancellor Nancy Rothwell presented the prizes.
The Social Justice Photography competition enabled undergraduate students to highlight an issue of social justice that matters to them by submitting a photo and a caption.
Five short-listed photos went to a public vote. The photos were viewed over 12,000 times on Instagram, Facebook and at an exhibition on campus with nearly 3,000 votes being cast.
The Grand Prize of £400 was awarded to Julia Stankiewicz from the School of Mechanical, Aerospace and Civil Engineering for her photo ‘Invisible.’
