THE ninth annual Take a View #PhotographeroftheYear competition has opened, with entrants having until July 12 to submit their photographs of the British landscape.
- The #competition is open to everyone, with a special class for those younger than 17
- Each entrant can submit 25 photographs across four categories
- There is a prize fund worth £20,000, including £10,000 for the overall winner and additional prizes within each category
- A special prize is given for the best image from an overseas entrant
As in previous years, an exhibition of shortlisted and winning entries will premiere in the late autumn. Previous locations for the annual showcase have included the National Theatre and London Waterloo Station. Shortlisted entrants will also be published in a coffee-table book.
Last year’s winner was Cumbria-based photographer Mark Littlejohn, who won with an enigmatic shot of a mountain stream in Glencoe, Scotland.
The competition celebrates the United Kingdom only, offering photographers worldwide an opportunity to showcase their images of Britain … from stark moorland to angular cityscapes, and rocky coastlines to lush woodland.
The 2015 awards are being held in association with VisitBritain and Countryside is GREAT. Jasmine Teer, VisitBritain’s photography manager, said: ‘Photographs that showcase the best of Britain play a vital role in VisitBritain’s mission: to raise our profile and inspire people all over the world to come to experience this beautiful country.’
Entries must be uploaded to the competition website, www.take-a-view.co.uk. Full terms and conditions can be found on the site.
