Winners of the 2021 ISH Photo Competition announced
12 October 2021
We are delighted to announce the winning and shortlisted entries of our 2021 Photo Competition on the theme of Culture, Heritage and Climate Change.
This has been the fifth annual competition organised by UCL Institute for Sustainable Heritage, and this year we invited entries that captured the theme of Culture, Heritage and Climate Change.
The aim was to promote understanding of how past and present cultural assemblies and practices can be used to develop sustainable solutions, as culture and heritage can provide opportunities to learn from traditional ways of life in a way that balances the needs of humans on our planet.
We sought entries that explored the role of culture and heritage in mitigation and adaptation measures especially those that demonstrated how indigenous knowledge and skills can inform our strategies for tackling the climate crisis.
This competition also supports The Bartlett's climate campaign 'Together for climate action', which brings together the Faculty's world-leading experts in the lead up to the COP26 climate summit.
Our judging panel this year comprised: Maja Maricevic, Head of Higher Education and Science at the British Library; Udit Singhal, UCL Freshman and UN Young Leader for the SDGs; Professor May Cassar, UCL ISH Director and Maija Powell, BSEER Communications Manager and 2018 competition winner.
Of the many outstanding photographs submitted by members of the public and the UCL community, eight were shortlisted by our judging panel and can be viewed below.
ISH congratulates the winning and shortlisted entries, and thanks to all those who entered and engaged with this year's theme.
