This year's theme is 'Connections'. The Competition is open to all students, staff, Fellows, Emeritae, Associates and alumnae. Win prizes and see your piece displayed in the College!
Now in its fifth year, Lucy Cavendish Library's annual Art & Photography Competition is an opportunity for the College community to flex its creative muscles, with prizes and prestige to be won.
Theme: Connections
The 2019 theme is 'Connections'. This could mean objects, people or places that connect or have connections for you, connections you have made or feel in your life, or art that embodies what 'connection' means to you. Feel free to interpret the theme either literally or figuratively, and be as creative as you like. We're looking for original art by members of College and welcome entries in any artistic medium. The Competition is open to all students, staff, Fellows, Emeritae, Associates and alumnae. Photo inspiration by Jakob Owens on Unsplash.
