The Search-See-Snap competition encouraged students to explore two walking trails, developed by our Institute of Popular Music, to find out more about Liverpool’s musical heritage. Students could explore the trails either individually or in groups of up to 6, taking photographs of their journey. All photographs were submitted to a panel of judges to select 1st, 2nd and 3rd place in both individual and group categories to win cash prizes, the judges also gave a commendation to the best photograph submitted by an individual and the best photograph submitted by a group.
The judging panel below reviewed 75 photographs entered to select the winning entries:
- Sarah Fisher – Executive Director at Open Eye Gallery
- JR Peterson AIS ARPS – School of Histories, Languages and Cultures
- Joel Levitan – University of Liverpool Photo Society Committee
