The fourth annual International Garden Photographer of the Year competition ends on 30 November. There is still time to submit your entries.
The competition is open to everyone, amateurs and professionals alike. Entries are welcome from any country in the world. There are no restrictions on the type of camera you use, or the techniques you use to produce your final image.
Uniquely among major photographic competitions, all entrants can receive professional feedback on their entries – after the judging of the competition is completed and on request.
Objective
Submit photos of plants, gardens, wildlife in the garden, people in the garden, wildflowers and trees.
Types of entry:
- Single images: These are judged as individual, stand-alone photographs.
- Portfolios: A portfolio is a group of photographs that work both as individual images and as part of a themed collection. A portfolio can explore a location, a mood, a colour, a plant group, in fact any garden-related subject that fits into one of the categories – but all the images should relate to one another and to the theme as a whole.
Prizes
The International Garden Photographer of the Year 2010 has a huge range of cash and other prizes available to winners and to runners-up, together with the unique prize of having a photograph exhibited in the special exhibition at Kew Gardens.
Please visit the Prizes page on the official website for a complete listing of the available prizes.
