The To Absent Friends Essence of a Memory competition ran as part of the Luminate Festival of Creative Ageing. It challenged people take a photo and write up to 50 words which together evoke a story or memory of a dead loved one. The Higher photography class sent in individual entries and three of our students won the under 18 category. Congratulations to Maida Asif, Emma Smith and Amyrt Narwan. The winning images are going to be displayed throughout Scotland for the next year in a travelling exhibition.
