LONDON, August 30 (Reuters) - Britain’s Kate Middleton, the Duchess of Cambridge, has helped choose 100 final images from more than 31,000 submissions made to Hold Still, a photography project she launched in May to capture a snapshot of the nation in coronavirus lockdown.
The community project organised by the National Portrait Gallery 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.
Carried out over a six-week period, the initiative aimed to document the spirit and mood of the country during the lockdown.
The 100 images chosen by Kate and a panel of judges will feature in a digital exhibition launching on Sept. 14.
