Students who produced work for a photography exhibition at Addenbrooke's Hospital, which has been on display in the 'clown' corridor linking with the Rosie Hospital, attended a prizegiving ceremony at the hospital today (Thursday 19 May 2005). Students Camilla Ploug-Sorensen and Paul Fryer won joint first prize, each picking up a £100 voucher from KeyPhoto Ltd to spend on photographic materials or equipment.

The exhibition entitled 'Alternative Therapy' is based on the themes of fame, play, death, identity and beauty, and all images have been produced by first year students on the BA Hons Photographic and Digital Media course at the Cambridge School of Art at Anglia Polytechnic University.

This is the sixth annual photography exhibition and is part of an ongoing collaboration between Addenbrooke's Hospital and Anglia Polytechnic University.

Ron Stellitano, the exhibition co-ordinator, said: "The students have worked very hard to create some fascinating work and for many this has been their first public exhibition, which has been enjoyed by patients, staff and the public. On behalf of Anglia Polytechnic I would like to thank Addenbrooke's Hospital for making this exhibition possible."

The exhibition has formed part of the 'Addenbrooke's Art' project, which aims to enhance the hospital environment for patients, visitors and staff by creating a bright and welcoming atmosphere.
