World Photo Day competition: Winners announced!
Thank you to everyone who showed off their creativity by entering our World Photo Day competition! After a tough selection process for each of the three categories, we’re excited to reveal the winners:
Sunlight shining through gum trees on UniSA Magill campus.
Uni life: Olivia Sharp
I took this photo studying late on Magill campus. The sunset looks incredible through the trees!
White drug crystals in a blue petri dish.
Something that represents what you're studying: Deepa Nakmode
In this photo, drug crystals sparkle like stars. For those with Parkinson’s, these tiny crystals symbolise hope—hope for fewer daily medications and a life with less disruption. Our research is turning these stars into a reality, aiming to make life a little easier for patients everywhere.
Large stone chimney with a purple starry night sky in the background.
Something you can't live without: Tamzin Reynolds-Seaman
The lone chimney reaches up towards the Milky Way, showing a fascinating comparison between our industrial past and the endless galaxy. For something I can't live without it's definitely the outdoors. I photographed this at Hughes Enginehouse in Moonta.
