Our annual Photography Competition, now in its eighth year, is open for entries. Sponsored this year for the first time by OM Digital Solutions, in association with Campkins Cameras, we are excited to welcome our new partners, whose company philosophy of Kacho Fugetsu aligns closely with our own mission of ‘people close to nature, in a land rich in wildlife.’ 

Mark Thackera at OM Digital Solutions says, “we take immense pride in this partnership that exemplifies our drive to encourage everyone to enjoy nature responsibly. Working hand in hand with such a dedicated organization, alongside the support of Campkins Cameras, fuels our passion for fostering a collective effort to preserve and celebrate the beauty of our natural world.”

OM Digital Solutions will be providing our overall winner’s prize of an OM5 + 12-40mm lens kit, worth £1,799, as well as offering support in judging the competition and producing our 2025 calendar, which will include the three winning images, plus 21 other winning photographs. The competition is also supported by Opticron, who continue to provide additional prizes for our category winners for which we are very grateful.

The competition this year has an overall theme of ‘nature all around’ and again has three categories, the winners of which will receive prizes from Opticron: Flora and Fauna, Youth (under 18s) and People and Nature. An overall winner will be chosen from the category winners to receive the main prize. The competition is free to enter and closes on 2 May. Winners will be notified by July, and the calendar will go on sale towards the end of the year. All the terms and conditions, and information about how to enter, is available online.
