Teenager’s photo of Holocaust memorial wins national award

It was taken at the Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe, in central Berlin.

Teddie said: “I thought the memorial was very pretty, and it felt significant for me to honour the fallen in one way or another.”

The 15-year-old received his prize at an awards ceremony at the Espacio Gallery in Shoreditch, in East London.

More than 550 images were sent in by students from 75 schools, across 118 places in the UK. They shared a vast range of images, taken with cameras, smartphones and tablets.

Professor Jennifer Rubin, the CEO of the ESRC said: “I congratulate all of our winners, who have demonstrated not only exceptional artistic talent, but also thoughtfulness, deep insight, and an understanding of the relevance of social science to their lives.”
