Congratulations to all of the Year 13 students who entered this year’s Mary Lucey Research Prize, which reached its conclusion on 20 November with a special Symposium and Awards Dinner.
This voluntary competition saw the highest number of entries ever in the history of the prize, with over half of the year group taking part.
Congratulations go to winner Emily W, who posed the question: ‘How does Clytemnestra’s portrayal in Aeschylus’ Agamemnon compare to the traditional role of ancient women, and why she is best represented in Collier’s 1882 painting “Clytemnestra”?’
Runners-up Amy H and Eleni H were also deserving finalists: the judges were impressed by the originality of their questions and the depth of thought that went into their entries, and Emily’s. Congratulations also go to Charlotte K, who received the highest number of votes from fellow students for the quality of her poster.
The judges commented that the clarity of the students’ arguments was strikingly strong this year across the board – well done to all of the entrants!
