Photography students triumph at Fuji Film Student Awards 2006
Students on University College Falmouth’s critically acclaimed BA(Hons) Photography course were recently awarded the prize of a Fujifilm Professional refrigerator containing £500 worth of Fujifilm Professional film for submitting the most entries for this year’s Fuji Film Student Awards.
The Fuji Film Student Competition annually showcases new photographic talent emerging from universities and colleges across the UK. The competition is open to all students undertaking full or part-time professional photographic training, or full or part-time graphic design training of which photography is a major part.
This year the competition brief required students to submit a photograph and supporting text on the theme of ‘The Best of British.’
“We were looking for images that summed up typical British life,” says Jerry Deeney of Fujifilm Professional. “Students could submit as many images as they liked online. All entries were shot on Fujifilm Professional film.”
The competition judging panel included professional photographer Dean Chalkley, photographic retoucher Glen Taylor from Taylor James, and design guru Wayne Hemingway.
“ We are very enthusiastic about students engaging with national competitions as it raises their profile and confirms the high quality of work produced on the course,” says BA(Hons) Photography Course Leader, Dave Matthews. “It’s an exciting time for photography at University College Falmouth. Two new and innovative courses are starting in September 2007; BA(Hons) Press Photography and BA(Hons) Marine and Natural History Photography, both of which will continue to place us at the forefront of photographic education in the UK.”
University College Falmouth is a founding partner in the Combined Universities in Cornwall (CUC), a unique initiative to promote regional economic regeneration through higher education. The CUC is funded mainly by the European Union (Objective One), the South West Regional Development Agency, and the Higher Education Funding Council for England, with support from Cornwall County Council.
