LONDON - Britain’s Queen Elizabeth on Monday congratulated entrants to a photography project launched by the Duchess of Cambridge Kate Middleton to capture a snapshot of the nation in coronavirus lockdown.
The project received more than 30,000 submissions, from which Kate and four other judges picked 100 final images that will be published online by the National Portrait Gallery on Monday.
Since its launch in May, the project invited people of all ages from across Britain to submit a photographic portrait they had taken during the Covid-19 lockdown that started in March.
Kate - wife of Prince William and a keen photographer herself - and other members of the panel assessed the images on the emotions and experiences they convey rather than on their photographic quality or technical expertise.
