Cambridge Admissions Office is inviting current undergraduate students to send in photos they’ve taken of Cambridge that give a candid student’s eye view of the university.

It could be an image of your friends enjoying themselves, an undiscovered corner of your college or a favourite view taken from a surprising angle. It might even be a hilarious moment from a field trip or an unlikely take on an aspect of your subject. Or it could be something quite different!

This is a chance for undergraduates to show prospective students the reality and diversity of student life. Classic images of historic Cambridge – courtyards, chapels and cobbled streets – tell only a fraction of the rich and varied story for those who study here.

̽»¨Ö±²¥best student pictures will appear on the undergraduate admissions website and may also be used in the ̽»¨Ö±²¥ prospectus. ̽»¨Ö±²¥well-known photographer and author Ben Schott, creator of Schott’s Miscellanies, will help select the winning entries.

Schott studied Social and Political Sciences at Gonville and Caius College in the mid-1990s and cut his creative teeth as a photographer for Varsity. His quirky Miscellany series developed from an idea for handmade Christmas cards sent to friends.

There are three categories in the student photo competition: First Impressions – pictures taken in your first year - Fresh Impressions - pictures taken in your second year - and Lasting Impressions - pictures taken in your third or later years.

Entries must be submitted by email to photocomp@cao.cam.ac.uk by 11 December 2009. There is no limit to the number of entries but each one must be accompanied by a submission form. For further information about the competition, the judging panel, prizes and how to enter, see www.cam.ac.uk/admissions/undergraduate/photocomp/
