MBA Photo Competition

Calling all photographers - time to dust off those cameras and get clicking - announcing the launch of a super friendly MBA photo competition!

Please see below for the terms and conditions. The top three entries will be picked by a student panel. Many thanks to Charmaine Hutton, Jason McAllister, Natalia Vainer and Pierce Louis for agreeing to pick the top three. Stephan Chambers has kindly agreed to pick the winner from the final three. The school has also kindly agreed to provide space in the school such that we can hang a framed print of the winning photo.

The theme for the competition is your MBA experience; if this seems a little vague and you are looking for inspiration then additional ideas could include celebration, friends, discovery or maybe even weather!


We plan to exhibit as many of the entries as possible at SBS during graduation week. Further, if there is interest, a book including as many entries as possible will be published ready for graduation. The winning picture would be on the front cover of the book. Any profits from the sale of the book will go to Oxfam.

Should you wish to get involved with the competition then please let me know – any assistance will be greatly appreciated.
