2025 photo competition – open for entries

CPRE Somerset’s annual photo competition celebrates what is special about Somerset – its people, wildlife and places. This year, we are looking for photos that  capture special times and events you enjoyed or ones which show your everyday life in our Somerset countryside.

It’s up to you how you interpret our theme “Somerset: life in the countryside”.  For instance, your photo could show a farmer gathering in the cows for milking, kids running through a meadow, friends on a cycle ride, a family picnic.  The possibilities are endless!

There are two prizes of £100 each – one for adults (19+) and one for those who are 18 years old and under. 

We are ideally looking for photos that include people enjoying the outdoors, taking part in activities or close up details showing the intimate experience of enjoying our countryside (no empty landscapes, please). Your images can be taken in the last two years and photos from all seasons are very welcome.

Competition entry is FREE and you may enter up to 3 photographs. Closing date is 30^th September 2025.

You can download the full competition rules and find out how to send in your entries below.
