Snap a Spring pic to win!

We're launching the 2026 Residence Life Spring photography competition!

Between 27 March - 27 April, we’re giving you the opportunity to flex your creative skills and show us your perspective of the world around you.

We know that belonging can be seen in countless forms - that's why you are invited to be creative by interpreting 'roots' both literally, such as through plants, nature, or landscapes, or in a deeper sense, through moments, relationships, or symbols, where you feel a sense of belonging in Leeds.

We’ve run this competition for the past three years and have received so many amazing entries!

Previous winning photos are featured below:

How to take part

If you take a snap this Spring that you think is worth sharing, enter your photo by sending it to residencelife@leeds.ac.uk with the subject line #ResLifePhotoComp before 5pm on 27 April.

Entries are limited to one per person.

Prizes include:

• 1st place –  £30 LUU Voucher & the winning photo displayed in Charles Morris Hall
• 2nd place – £10 Gear Voucher
• 3rd place – Chocolate Hamper

We will send all of the submitted images over to our esteemed judge, Mike Anderson, for consideration.

Once we have the results, we will email the winners and showcase their work on our Instagram.

Good luck, we are so excited to see your work.

Happy snapping!
