Winners were announced for A Day in Your Life competition, which was part of Kensington and Chelsea Art Weekend. The winners were announced at a special prize-giving at Saatchi Gallery during the launch of Kensington + Chelsea Art Weekend.

The competition was introduced as part of the Kensington + Chelsea Art Weekend to encourage and nurture the photographic talent of young people living in the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea.

A Day in Your Life is a community-minded photography competition curated by the BAFTA and multi-award-winning artist & photographer, Alison Jackson, with an exhibition at the world-famous Saatchi Gallery.

Speaking about the competition, Alison said:

“Everyone should have a chance to shine, so I thought why not set up a photographic competition? The reason I started this photography competition was for other people to have the same fantastic opportunities I have had in the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea; including outstanding education available here that can lead to so much more. So the prizes are educational and vocational.

I want to discover new, talent; aspiring photographers with fresh ‘ways of seeing’.”I am sure there are many extremely talented people and I wanted to give them a chance if they hadn’t had one yet. Imagery and visuals are our first language right now and it doesn’t matter so much if you are brilliant at writing or speaking – visuals win out. There are some extremely talented, fresh creatives out there.  Look at these pictures…
