With a total prize fund worth £20,000, a full colour book of best entries and a popular annual exhibition in Central London, Landscape Photographer of the Year celebrates all that is great about the British landscape and showcases the work of many talented photographers, inspiring visitors to experience the joys of British landscapes at first hand. Britain’s heritage is celebrated by people around the world and entries are welcome from everyone, whether resident in Britain or simply visiting.
Awards are presented to both the adult and young Landscape Photographer of the Year and there are four main categories that have both adult and youth sections, with additional prizes offered within each category.
The annual exhibition attracts many thousands of visitors. Held at the National Theatre for seven years, it became one of the venue’s most popular exhibitions before moving to London Waterloo, the busiest station in the country, in 2014. The first show of its kind to be held at the station, the exhibition has become a focal point for many of the quarter of a million visitors that pass through each day.
Held in association with VisitBritain and the GREAT Britain #OMGB ‘Home of Amazing Moments’ campaign.
Eligibility
a) Entries must be of the United Kingdom of Great Britain & Northern Ireland, the Isle of Man or the Channel Islands.
b) Entries must have been taken within the five years immediately prior to the closing date.
c) Entries that have won an award (including winner, runner-up, highly commended, commended) in a major competition (including previous Competitions), or that have been entered in such a competition where the results are pending, are not eligible for entry.
d) Once entered into the Competition, identical images must not be entered into any major competition until the Competition results are announced or until the entrant is informed by TAV that their entry has not reached the next stage of judging.
e) TAV reserves the right to decide if a competition is ‘major’ and their decision is final. If you are unsure of the eligibility of an image you are intending to enter, please email info@take-a-view.co.uk for clarification before proceeding.
f) Images taken at the Youth workshops organised for the prize winners of previous Competitions are not eligible for entry.
Categories
There are 4 adult categories for those aged 18 or over on 10th July 2016:
Classic view
Living the view
Your view
Urban View
For further information on which category you should choose, and the eligibility criteria for the Special Awards held in association with our Sponsors, please see the ‘Steps to Enter’ section.
A maximum total of 25 images per entrant may be submitted across the four main categories. For example, you may enter 6 in Classic view, 3 in Living the view, 10 in Your view and 6 in Urban view or you may enter 25 in Classic view. Entrants may submit the same image into more than one category, but each category entry counts as a separate image upload. (For example, if you pay for 7 entries and upload the same image into Classic view and Your view, then 2 of your 7 entry spaces have been used). Please note that, if an identical image is entered into two different categories and each copy wins a place in the book, it will only be printed once in the category for which it has attained the highest award.
The entry fees are as follows:
Single image: £10.00
Up to 7 images: £25.00
Up to 15 images: £30.00
Up to 25 images: £35.00
If you pay for and submit seven images but then decide to submit a further seven images as a new transaction at a later date, you will have to pay the full ‘seven image’ fee for this second transaction, rather than paying the difference between the ‘seven image’ and ‘fifteen image’ fees. ie. You will pay £25 + £25, rather than the ‘fifteen image’ discounted fee of £30.
The overall winner, the Landscape Photographer of the Year 2016, will be the person whose image is selected as the best by the judging panel from the four main adult categories.
