Gallery place for student

Whilst studying A Levels at New College Stamford, Lucy, from Peterborough, entered the British Humanist Association Happiness competition and won an amazing first and second place.

Alongside having both of her entries featured in the central London exhibition, Lucy (17) also received £300 in photography vouchers to help her develop her talents.

She said: “The photographs I entered were part of my A Level course work and were judged by editors of magazines, so it is amazing to have been recognised by professionals from the industry. It’s a great opportunity to get my name out there!”

Lucy’s work will be showcased for one week at The Strand Gallery from Wednesday 25 November – Monday 30 November.
