Beyond the Frame 2023

30 March (10-5pm), 31 March (12-5pm) & 1 April (12-4pm) | East Gallery

Beyond the Frame photography competition exhibition

Norwich University of the Arts’ Beyond the Frame competition is back for its sixth year. We look for the finest photography by students in Secondary (11+) or Further Education from around the world. The competition is supported by Canon UK, with two overall winners receiving Canon DSLR cameras.

Shortlisted work will be on display in East Gallery for three days, celebrating the creativity and talent shown by 50 students aged 11 – 19 that impressed our industry judges: Canon ambassador Clive Booth, Norwich alumna Cat Gundry-Beck and BA (Hons) Photography course leader James Smith.

The exhibition is free to enter, with no need to book.

“The standard of work submitted has exceeded my expectations and gives us much to be encouraged about for the future of our industry.”

Clive Booth, Judge
