Judges are not looking for any particular
image, but will most certainly notice images
that trigger the audience’s emotional
receptors. As judges, we don’t necessarily
just want images of well-known locations but
photographs taken from anywhere in the
UK. Whether they’re of iconic locations orsimply a local scene, they’ll be given precisely
the same consideration when it comes to
assessment. Entrants might consider looking
at past winners’ images for inspiration, but
don’t be tempted to imitate anyone else’s
style. If you’ve got a photo in mind or have a
certain style, you’ll find a category that fits.© Andy Farrer© Andy Farrer©Xiao Sheng ho ©Richard Bloom©Carolyn Mendelsohn©Tim LamanLandscape
