Aneel Singh Bhopal, deputy director of the West Scotland Regional Equality Council and a member of the judging panel, said: “"As always, the entries were superb.
"The range of creativity and community-focused messaging evoked by the images gave me an immense sense of hope that our young people’s social conscience, sensitivity and artistry will serve us well and make Scotland a better place to live in.
"I strongly encourage all participants to keep up the great work, whether as a profession, hobby or passion, and utilise their talents for the common good of all.”
