British Photography Awards is a charity-oriented photo competition.

  • Deadline: 30 June 2017
  • Entry fee: Our entry fee is set at 15 GBP, and for this you are able to submit ten photos in any one chosen regional category. Upon entering, each person is able to select the charity they wish to support and half of the entry fee (7.50 GBP) will be added to the monthly donations for that organisation. We include a well balanced selection of options ensuring that no matter your interests, values or motivations, there will be one that appeals to you.

Here at the British Photography Awards we are deeply invested in showcasing the finest photographs taken in England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. Our team administers a series of regional photography prizes in a range of categories that call for the very best of British photography.

However, regional photography awards are only half of our story. Unlike many other projects, we are not solely dedicated to highlighting the photographer's art. Instead, every month we work with different UK charities to help communities that support the competition itself. These organisations are selected based on both their operational ethics and real-world effectiveness.

In short, our concept is a hybrid of open, responsible competition twinned with charity fund-raising.

By choosing to enter the British Photography Awards, you will be directly contributing to the betterment of these green and pleasant lands, and those further afield. In addition of course, there is the high level of prestige and national exposure that comes from entering a competition of this scope. At the end of the year, the BPA welcomes the winners and runners-up of each national category to a display of their work and hosts charity gala to support the organisations involved. At this event we celebrate the photographers who have submitted the best work and present the figures on charity funds raised.
