The 2025 Photo Competition is now open for your entries. After two years reverting to submission of prints, this year we are going back to digital images only. 

Full details of the competition rules, required specifications and how the competition will be run can be found here.  If you have any queries, please email to photocomp@mknhs.org.uk

The closing date for entries is 14 January 2025.

The competition is open to all members of the Society. Any non-members who would like to participate are welcome to join the Society in order to take part; you can join online.

There are five categories, and each member may enter a maximum of 2 images per category. (That’s a maximum of 10 images in total.)

The five categories are:
1. Birds
2. Invertebrates
3. All other animals, including mammals, fish, etc.
4. Plants and fungi
5. Habitats, geological, astronomical.

Domestic animals and cultivated plants are not eligible. People must not be a major subject of any photograph.

The winner will be awarded the Ron Arnold Shield – yours to display for a year, until the 2026 competition!

May the best photograph win! It could be yours!
