After submitting the two teams' entries back in April to the Forgotten Spaces competition, we have eagerly been awaiting the awards evening on the 16th June to find out the results, view the degree show and the other entries. This year, there were 14 entries altogether so there were a lot of projects for the architectural judges to look through compared to the other years! Wine and nibbles were also laid out for all of the teams who attended the evening.
We submitted two entries to Sheffield Hallam University for the competition:
Team Uninhabited includes:
Charlie Yates (AS Fine Art and Photography)
Leah May (AS Fine Art and Photography)
Megan Strutt (AS Graphics and Photography)
Lauren Oxley (AS Graphics)
Briony Canning (AS Fine Art and Photography_
Ella Shields (AS Graphics)
Team Creative Minds:
Thomas Marriott (AS Fine Art and Photography)
Olivia Wolstenholme (AS Fine Art and Graphics)
Josie Farrow (AS Graphics)
Francesca Gilardoni (AS Fine Art)
We were first introduced to the judges of the competition by the Head of the Architecture department of the University. We were also introduced to the individuals who were in charge of the competition itself, and who made it possible for us to become apart of this brilliant experience. All of the teams entries were individual in their own way as they all came from different schools and colleges, which meant a variety in age. Then it was time for the Drumroll!!
Team Uninhabited gained 3rd prize!
We were ecstatic and we were all very proud that we were given this recognition of achievement. Each of the students received a certificate with their individual names on and an architectural book named "101 Things I Learned in Architectural School" by Matthew Frederick. The Art Department also £100.00 to spend on resources and materials for the Art Department which we will put to full use for the students. Unfortunately, Team Creative Minds were not given a prize but they still did very well and showed support for their other team members so overall, it was a really good evening which we are eager to keep repeating in the future.
We have entered the Forgotten Spaces competition for the past five years and we have been awarded a place in the Top Three each year - even sometimes two places!! We are very proud of our students and we are eager to continue the competition with future students so we can keep the streak going!!

The winning entry:
The team was awarded for their visual presentation skills along with their idea, as the judges stated it was innovative and that they appreciated how the students planned to use the area for what it is rather than it being demolished. Their work is now displayed in the Architecture Degree Show at Sheffield Hallam University which is definitely something to proud of at this point in their education.
The Winning Team (unfortunately two of them could not make it):
A big well done to both of the teams for their hard work and determination with the project as you should be proud of yourselves as well. Don't forget to put it on your CV's and UCAS applications!
