The Allan Taylor Art and Photography Competition

Trinity 2026

The Allan Taylor Art and Photography Competition celebrates the creativity of the St Antony’s student community, bringing new life and colour into the heart of College through student work. Open to all current students, it offers an opportunity to have your work displayed in the Hilda Besse Building and contribute to a shared space shaped by the people who study and live here.

The competition has been made possible by a generous donation from the family of Allan Taylor, who served as Bursar from 2001 to 2011. In this role, he secured the future of the St Antony’s we know and love today by ensuring that the management of the College was in the best shape possible. The Competition will be held annually in his memory, celebrating his legacy by supporting creativity, expression, and community within the College.

Shortlisted entries will be displayed in the Hilda Besse Building, and the winners will be announced at a celebratory High Table dinner on Thursday 18 June.
