The LUP is pleased to announce the winner of our Spring 2013 “London past and present” photo contest: Alex Schoemann with this winning photo, Locating St. Paul’s.
This was a hard contest to judge – you can see all the entries here – so congratulations to Alex, and thank you to all our entrants!
To mark the half-way point in our students’ time in London, the program ran a photo contest, inviting students to submit their best representations of London Past and Present.
As you can see if you visit the gallery of the entries on the LUP Facebook page, the quality of the entries was very high, and after much deliberation it was decided to split the prize.
The First Place award goes to Laurel Komos for her photo “Big Ben, up close”, which caught the judges eye for both it’s aesthetic strength, but also for the clever use of the contest’s theme.
The Highly Commended award was made to Chelsea Palmer for her photo “Goat on the Cityscape”, taken in Spitalsfields, in the East End – one of the sites visited by students in Inside London.
(The goat itself is also an award winner: sculptor Kenny Hunter won the 2010 Spitalsfields Sculpture Prize with this piece)
Congratulations to Laurel and Chelsea, and a big thanks to all our other entrants as well – it was not an easy contest to judge!
Thank you to current LUP student, Katie Adams, who has written this article for the College of First Year Studies about her experiences in London.
We hope that she inspires many current first years to think about their future opportunities for international study, and to consider the London Programs.
Lovely to see this Observer article by current LUP student and NBC intern, Megan Doyle: Fairytales make headlines.
