The Postgraduate Community Experience Awards funded a project called ReCapture. The application was submitted by PhD student Vilius Savickas and Master’s by Research student Hal Dorrington.

ReCapture aimed to promote postgraduate research carried out across the University by providing a platform for students to capture and share their research in a public-friendly photographic format. The competition has been a celebration of student research and has been a great networking opportunity between the academic communities of the Canterbury and Medway campuses. It also provided a platform for students to share their research with non-specialist audiences and to the local public.

A total of 16 outstanding images were shortlisted by a panel back in April 2019. These were then presented at a Medway based exhibition throughout May and early June with a final showcase event hosted on Monday 17^th June.

Staff, students and members of the public were able to vote for the three best images based on the following criteria:

• Subject content and strength of message, in relation to research.
• Creativity of presentation, visual communication and general appeal of image.
• Image quality of photograph.

The winners, who were announced on Monday 17^th April were:

1^st Prize
