Our students have until Friday, 5 March 2021 to submit a photo and caption which raises awareness of a social justice issue that’s important to them. For the first time, the photo competition is open to both undergraduate and postgraduate taught students at The University of Manchester.

Last year the competition received almost 6,000 votes across Instagram and Facebook. The grand prize of £400 was awarded to Marie Guest from the School of Social Sciences for her photo ‘Stand By Me, I’ll Stand By You.’ (shown in the righthand column).

The competition promotes the Social Justice Challenge, an online activity which introduces students to topics like race, homelessness, mental health and higher education. This forms part of the University’s signature Ethical Grand Challenges program which designed to create more socially responsible graduates.
