ILFORD PHOTO ANNOUNCE THE UK WINNER OF THEIR 2020/21 STUDENT PHOTOGRAPHY COMPETITION 'DARKNESS & LIGHT'
When we launched the 11th Annual ILFORD PHOTO Student Photography Competition in May 2020 the UK was in lockdown and we were all coming to terms with the impact of the global COVID-19 pandemic.
For schools and colleges, this meant closure, online learning, or restrictions on darkroom courses. Despite the disruption that students have faced we were delighted with the quality and quantity of prints we received to our ‘darkness & light’ theme with over 200 entries from 20 different school and colleges.
The Winner
As always, the challenge of picking a winner was not easy but we are pleased to announce that the winner, and recipient of the title of ‘ILFORD PHOTO UK Student Photographer of the Year 2020/21’, has been awarded to Lucas Edevane from King’s Ely School in Cambridge.

Lucas has helped to extend King’s Ely School and tutor Antonio Longo’s winning streak to 4 years. Once again demonstrating King’s Ely’s ongoing commitment and passion to analogue photography and a consistently high standard of learning.
