Photography competition 2024

Entries are now open!

Whether you use a camera or a mobile phone, photography is a great way to capture a moment and to get outside and connect with nature.

When you enter, you have the chance to have your photo featured on our social media, 2025 calendar, and more! The GWT 2024 calendar featured some of your amazing finalist photos from last year's competition.

The GWT photography competition this year will be split into mobile entries and camera entries for the first time. We know that not everybody owns a camera, but we want everyone to have the opportunity to enjoy nature as part of this competition. 

As part of your camera or mobile entry, you can submit up to three photos in three categories; urban wildlife, wild places, and species spotlight. 

The deadline for entries is Sunday 28 July at midnight. 

Find out more about each category

Urban wildlife

Whether it's a fox in your street, or a plant that is pioneering a new home on a wall, get inspired by the wildlife on your doorstep with this category. This is your chance to show off the birds, insects, plants and other wildlife that live in Gloucestershire's towns and cities.

Wild places

Snap a special moment exploring Gloucestershire's wild places in this landscape category, from the rolling hills of the Cotswolds to the ancient woods in the Forest of Dean. 

Species spotlight

Set your focus on one species for this category, putting your favourite animal or plant in the spotlight. Encapsulate a special encounter or a new find within your photo, sharing some of the wonderful wildlife that shares this county.
