Back for its 4th year, we welcome any young people aged 25 & under to enter our Young Photographers Competition!
This is a competition for photographers aged 25 & under. This is a free-to-enter competition, with submissions sent digitally.

The theme for this year is Everyday Life (to be interpreted however you see fit!) and is limited to one submission per person with a chance to be included in our Young Photographers exhibition taking place in the Courtyard this August. We will print and frame the selected works which will be on display from Wednesday 29 July - Monday 24 August. The finalists and overall winner of the competition will be announced at the private view on Wednesday 29 July from 7.30 - 9.30pm.
