As this year marks our 60th anniversary, students are invited to submit their artwork on the theme of 'Celebration'.
What are we looking for?
We would love some original artworks from Lucy students so we can display them in the Library foyer during Easter Term.
Since this year is the College’s 60th anniversary, we have a theme of “Celebration”. What does “Celebration” mean for you? Feel free to interpret the theme as you wish – your inspiration can be any kind of celebration! - and be as creative as you like.
Your work can be in any medium at all but we have provided some materials in te foyer in case you’re inspired now. We know there are plenty of enthusiastic artists and photographers at Lucy Cavendish, so here is an opportunity for you all to showcase your talent.
There will be prizes!
Our first place winner will receive a £30 voucher, with £20 and £10 vouchers for second and third places. The winning entries, as well as the runners up, will be displayed for the year in College from June 2025.
All competition entries will be displayed in the Library at the beginning of Easter Term and the judges’ final decision will be announced on Friday 9th May.
How to enter
Simply pin up your work on the display board and make sure your CRSid is written on the back (so the artworks can be judged anonymously, although we will add artists’ names once judging is complete). Submit your entry to the Library by 5pm on Wednesday 30th April.
If you have a photograph you would like to submit, simply pin it up or email it to library@lucy.cam.ac.uk and we will print it out.
