Farmers Weekly annual photography competition is now open for entries – and there’s a £250 cash prize for the top shot of the year.

With eight farming and rural life categories to enter your photos into this year, this competition is your big chance to share and celebrate the best of British farming.

This competition is open to all amateur photographers and the categories cover a broad range of topics. You can enter as many snaps into any of the categories as you like, so get uploading.

The categories are:

Machinery
Wildlife
Livestock
Landscapes
People
Pets
Black and white
Young photographer (open to anyone aged 16 or under on the closing date)

The Farmers Weekly team select a winner, runner-up and highly commended entry from each category. The cash prize will be awarded to the overall winner of this year’s competition.

We will be showcasing the winning photos along with a runner up and highly commended from each category in Farmers Weekly’s bumper Christmas issue on 20 December.

How to enter

Entering is quick and easy – all you need to do is upload your best images to the relevant galleries.

You can enter some favourite photos you have already taken and are especially proud of, or you can get out in the great British countryside to take snaps specifically with this competition in mind.

When uploading your images, please don’t forget to tell us when and where your photo was taken, along any other details you would like to include.

The photo’s significance, some context or brief explanation of why you think it’s a cracking shot will help the judges when they are shortlisting your entries.

The closing date is Sunday, 24 November 2019. Find out more details and enter the competition.
