03.03.2010 - Student Wins Tameside Image 10 Competition
AN INTERESTING pose, saturated with colour and excellently lit are all comments which described this year’s winning entry in the Image 10, schools and colleges photography exhibition.
Ashton Sixth Form College student Amie Newall’s portrait of Rosanna Murray scooped her the top prize of a digital camera and a photographic workshop for The College.
The annual competition, organised by Tameside Council’s Museums and Galleries service, showcases some of the borough’s best young artistic talent. Another Ashton Sixth Form Art student; Danielle Saville was awarded runner-up for her ‘Portrait of Lauren’.
A staggering 120 students entered the annual competition organised by Tameside’s museums and galleries service. Councillor Jackie Lane, Project Head for Heritage and Tourism commented:
“Tameside has a wealth of young artistic talent. The theme ‘portraits’ was posed to all secondary and college students in the borough. And what a response! I think the standard of the entries speaks for itself; stunning, imaginative and truly creative poses. These images have such a youthful feel and seem to capture fantastically the creativity and flair of our extremely talented students here in Tameside.”
The students’ work will be on show at Central Art Gallery in Ashton-under-Lyne from Saturday 27 February until Saturday 8 May 2010. FREE ADMISSION
