The London Global Gateway is pleased to invite all students to enter its monthly photo competition!

The competition celebrates the visual side of students' semester abroad, and provides an opportunity for students to exhibit their photography work. 

Take out your cameras – or phones – and snap some photos that encapsulate the essence of your time here in London. 

Each month there will be a new theme to guide you, and winning submissions will win a £20 voucher, and the chance to exhibit your photos on the London Global Gateway website!
