Following the huge, and unexpected success, of the photography blog I run collaboratively with a fellow IB student Cailin (which now has over 3200 page views in just under 3 months), we were asked to hold a presentation about photography. We were initially approached by the Head of Upper School and then also by the Head Of Middle School to inform the respective year groups about how we approach photography and how they can get involved in the activity.
The school has arranged a photography competition based around the theme 'Uniting the Nations' in honour of International Day. Throughout our presentation, Cailin and I were asked to:
- Describe the basics of photography
- Show some of our own photography work based on a certain theme
- Announce the competition
- Demonstrate some other photographers interpretation of the theme
- Show some of our photography based on the theme of uniting the nations
- Announce the prize of the competition: a huge canvas print of the winning piece, a feature in the school newspaper, a post on our photography blog, a feature on the school website and (last, but not least) two tickets to PHANTASIALAND

Alongside this, we asked one of the teachers in charge of organising the competition if we could be part of the voting jury and after a day of deliberating, we received an email with the list of people on the jury... our names were TOP of the list. As part of the jury, we are not allowed to enter the competition ourselves, which is a shame, but I'm extremely excited to be seeing everyone else's interpretations of the theme and deciding which ones are just-that-slightly-or-maybe-a-lot-better than others.
