The criteria were broad and images were chosen for their aesthetic and technical qualities with the range of entries highlighting the open and inclusive nature of the competition.

THE ENTRIES We received many hundreds of submissions from students aged between 16 and 18. The entries highlighted not only the quality but also the extraordinary diversity of art in colleges. The entries were shortlisted to 21 images which represent work from 20 sixth form colleges.
