Next year, WM College is getting a new look. We want it to show real learners and real stories – like yours.

Send us a photo/s of something special about WM College. For example: your coursework, handwritten notes, artwork, poems, workbooks, sketches, textiles, maths and ESOL work, or photos of you and your friends.

Everyone who sends a photo goes into a prize draw to win a £100 course voucher and a £50 John Lewis voucher.

Send your photos to: marketing@wmcollege.ac.uk. Deadline: 31 October 2026

Full details and terms and conditions…

1. What we are looking for

Send us anything that shows a link to the college.  For example, photos of:

• Old records, letters, or handwritten notes
• Old books, photos, or prints
• ESOL/ Maths work or photos of work on computer screens, etc 
• Work you made on a course – drawings, textiles, prints, designs, objects, workbooks, or writing
• Tickets, timetables, maps, plans, badges, postcards, or old newspaper articles
• Anything about the building, our tutors, our former students, or college life

Does it show a small part of WM College’s story? We want to see it.

2. The story behind your item

Objects, work and photos can hold memories. We would love to hear yours. Tell us about a happy moment. Tell us a personal memory. Or tell us what WM College has meant to you.

You can type your story. Or you can write it by hand and send us a photo. We love real handwriting. It feels personal. It might even be used in the artwork.

3. How to share your item

Send us a clear photo or scan of your item. You can send more than one.

Make sure the photo is clear. People should be able to see what it is.

Tips for a good photo:

• Use your phone’s best camera setting
• Save it as a JPEG or TIFF file
• Make sure it is in focus
• Take the photo in good light. Try to avoid shadows.

Your photos

Your memories are precious. We will treat them with care and respect. Sometimes we may need to make small changes. For example, we may adjust the colour. Or we may crop the image. We will not change what your item means. We want to keep it true to life.

When you send us your item, we will ask you to confirm two things:

1. The image belongs to you, or you have permission to share it.
2. If there are people in the photo, they are happy to appear in it/you have GDPR approval

Where your contributions go
We may use the best photos and stories in our marketing. This could be in print, online, or on social media. It could also be in displays around the building. We may not use everything straight away. We will keep images safe. We may use them later too.
