Student awards shortlist

Photo|Frome is proud to launch our inaugural Student Awards, with prizes sponsored by MPB, the largest global platform to buy, sell and trade used photo and video gear. The Student Awards welcomed projects of all genre and styles of photography, and any photographic processes, that reflect the 2023 theme, Decolonising Environments.

From the many entries received from across there country, 12 pre-degree and 22 degree students were shortlisted to go forward to the judging panel (Michelle Sank, Pelumi Odubanjo, Arteh Odjidja and Ian Howorth) who then selected their finalists. Two winners and one highly commended student will receive vouchers from the Student Awards sponsor MPB to spend on pre-loved photography or videography equipment on mpb.com.

There is a first prize of a £500 MPB voucher, a second prize of a £250 voucher, and a pre-degree winning student prize of a £250 voucher. Additionally, Photo|Frome CIC will give a £250 cash Frome Community Award. There are also 4 honourable mentions. These 8 winners will all be exhibited as part of MPB @ Rook Lane.
