We are pleased to announce the results of our photo competition: Work in the time of lockdown.
Entrants submitted photographs that: represented their working life over the previous year and how they had adapted; things that had challenged them or helped to keep them positive and motivated; activities that illustrated #ITICommunity.
There was an excellent response from members, and it was a real challenge to select the three winning photographs. Our winners were announced at the ITI awards ceremony on 13 May.
Winner: Sue Anderson
Sue captioned this photograph "Says it all really".
Winner: Saffron Covill
Saffron described this as a "humorous photo depicting perception vs. reality of working from home. The photo equivalent of wearing a shirt and tie on Zoom but no trousers!"
Winner: Asma Suleman
Asma has been working with the frontline workers at Watford General Hospital, with this image showing the weekly clap for the NHS.
Here is the impressive photo gallery of all the submissions for the competition, which together provide a fascinating chronicle of life over the last year.

A place called Daring
I took this during an incredibly lucky escape to Germany in the autumn of 2020.
