The Garden Rooms at Tennants Amateur Photography Competition 2018

Please ensure you read all the instructions and Terms & Conditions before entering the competition.

We are delighted to be launching our Amateur Photography Competition for the second year – and for 2018 we are inviting entries on the theme of ‘My Yorkshire’.

Yorkshire is a place of extraordinary variety – from the dramatic coastal cliffs to rolling farmland and high moors, vibrant cities to historic towns, picture postcard villages to the industrial landscapes that helped forge our country. Now we are inviting talented amateur photographers to capture the county, and show their own unique view of Yorkshire.

So whether you are inspired by Scarborough’s sandy beaches, the soaring architecture of York Minster or the bustle of Leeds city centre– we want to see your interpretation of the theme ‘My Yorkshire’.

Thirty finalists will be selected from the entries, whose work will be included in our gallery exhibition which will run from 16th June – 8th July. Visitors to the exhibition will be invited to vote for their favourite. The overall winning entry, as voted for by the public, will receive a prize of photographic vouchers and will be included, along with the eleven runners up, in The Garden Rooms 2019 Calendar.
