We are pleased to announce the winners of the Capture Kingston: Lockdown & Out photography competition.
In July 2020, the Rose partnered with Kingston History Centre and the Friends of Kingston Heritage Service to run the competition. The theme was inspired by the lockdown and the challenges we faced during the early stages of the pandemic last year. We asked entrants to submit photos that captured life in Kingston and its surrounding areas, and from the quality of the entries we received we were delighted to see that creativity was still flourishing despite the pandemic.
All photos submitted will contribute to Kingston’s photographic collection, documenting the many changes we have all witnessed and experienced during this time.
Don't forget to come along and vote in person for Kingston’s Choice from six highly commended images!
