The college web team are delighted to announce the winner of our inaugural CHSS Photo Competition. Entrants were asked to take three photos based on the theme My degree experience, and after months of high-quality submissions we have selected our favourite.
Alyssa Gregory’s winning photo
The competition closed on 31st March 2014, with the winner being chosen shortly after. The judging panel of Guillaume Evrard (Editoral Assistant and resident art critic), Aldona Gosnell (Team Manager and art graduate) and Gavin Maxwell (Web Developer and expert hill walker) had the difficult task of picking a winner.

After much deliberation they were clear in their choice of Alyssa Gregory, for her inventive photo of John Duncan’s Tristan and Isolde (1912). Alyssa’s photo was considered the most relevant to the competition’s theme, as well as demonstrating a keen eye for colour and composition.
“The quality of photographs submitted to the competition made for an enjoyable but difficult task for all those on the judging panel”
Aldona Gosnell, Team Manager
Honourable mentions should also go to Gary Wilson and Chi Chiu Tam who came very close to winning with their submissions.
