Exhibition at Tameside Central Art Gallery until 8th May 2010

An Interesting pose, saturated with colour and excellently lit are the comments which described this years winning entry in the Image 10, schools and colleges photography exhibition.

College student, Amie Newell’s portrait of Rosanna Murray has scooped her the top prize of a digital camera and a photographic workshop for her college.

A staggering 140 entries were submitted in the annual competition organised by Tameside Council’s Museums and Galleries Service.

And as the standard of entries was so high, an extra category of highly commended has been added to reward the pupils for their impressive and creative work.

The winner and highly commended entries are below, along with judges comments:
