This award will be given to the image that the judge believes has the best quality of light. The subject matter is unimportant. The primary subject should be well/sympathetically lit to bring out the best features and bring it to life. The light source can be artificial natural or a combination of the two. (These images must have been captured after 1st September 2022)

The world is your oyster! These can be landscapes, seascapes, cityscapes or any ‘scape’ you like!? Scapes should hopefully capture the scenes and atmospheres of the great outdoors. Just as examples it could be a frosty or snowy rural scape, it could be an industrial scape of derelict buildings, it could be a sunrise or sunset or even at night, it could be almost anywhere you go!? Weather conditions can add substantially to your image. You could also consider using photographic techniques such as long exposure or ICM or even a fisheye lens.

We live in a multi-cultural world but what do you think of when you want to produce an image of something ‘British’? Is it Royal pomp and circumstance such as changing of the guards? Is it cheese rolling or bog snorkelling? Is it farmers working their animals or the land? (Hopefully it’s not sitting in a traffic queue or drunks fighting outside a pub on a Friday night or sitting watching I’m a celebrity…? Or is it?) The subject is massive and open to your interpretation and imagination.
