HAVE YOUR PHOTO FEATURED IN THE BOX MOOR TRUST ANNUAL EXHIBITION

Photo Competition

A huge thank you to everyone who submitted their incredible images for our 2025 competition — we received almost 100 photos!   The winning image was a beautiful, atmospheric and misty shot taken by Sarah Coldwell at Overbourne, Westbrook Hay.  A close second was a stunning capture by Daren Cole of a kingfisher taking flight with a fish in her beak.  Third place went to Anna Blackshaw for her spectacular photo of a rainbow arching over Hardings Moor. An exhibition of winning images is currently being held at the Old Barn, Westbrook Hay. Take a look next time you are up there for a walk.

The theme for this year’s competition is:

“Where Nature, Heritage and Community Meet”

Like to photograph landscapes? We have almost 500 acres of woods, meadows, hills and valleys.  Action shots? The Trust hosts two cricket clubs and a rugby club.  If wildlife and nature is your preferred subject matter, there is a rich variety of flora and fauna to be found in every corner of the estate.  We’d love to see all the seasons of the year represented.

All photographs must have been taken of, or from, Box Moor Trust land.  The closing date is 30th November 2026.  Entry is free and competitors may submit up to 10 images.  Photos must be in jpg format, minimum resolution 300ppi (pixels per inch) in order to reproduce well in print.
The twelve selected finalists will be put to the public vote on the Box Moor Trust Facebook and Instagram pages to determine 1st, 2nd and 3rd places. Prizes are £100 for first place, £75 for second and £50 for third.

This year, we have introduced a junior category for under-18s.  Rules are the same as above, except that there is no specific theme – as long as your photo was taken on Trust land, it will qualify.  Prizes for first, second and third placed juniors.
