Competition

The Photographic Angle regularly runs photographic competitions which are open and accessible to everyone, regardless of their location, ability, experience, equipment or age.

Each competition has a theme, chosen by our Head of Design, and we welcome submissions that illustrate this theme showcasing originality and a unique viewpoint. The competitions are free to enter and TPA enlists the help of an independent judge who is given the responsibility of selecting the winning entries. One photographer whose entry is deemed the best representation of the competition theme will be awarded a prize.

Throughout the year, our Head of Design will also choose a selection of the best entries submitted to various competition themes for inclusion in one of our future photographic exhibitions. The chosen images will then be printed by the charity and exhibited at no expense to the photographers. If your work is chosen for inclusion you will be contacted via email and asked to send us high resolution versions of your work.

GENERATIONS

Our new competition is on the theme of ‘Generations’ and we hope this will inspire you and your creativity.

In our family, we have four generations, but we can rarely get a photograph of all of us together! One day I hope we will be able to.

‘Generations’ is open to your own interpretation – maybe there is a building that has been added to over the generations? Maybe you have animals that you have cared for over the generations? Maybe there is a landscape that shows the scars of generations of erosion?

Your challenge for this competition is to produce up to five images that clearly show how you have interpreted the theme of ‘Generations’ to produce a strong composition.

This competition will end at midnight on 28th February 2026

Competition Judge

Dave Bennett

I have been interested in photography since I was 16 or 17 in the early 1970s. During the days of film in the 70s, 80s, and 90s I was a keen darkroom worker.
These days, it is all digital and I use Olympus/OM System equipment. I enjoy many genres of photography but my favourites are Architecture, Abstract and Landscape. I am always looking out for unusual or off-beat subjects to photograph. I prefer to keep my subjects simple.
I enjoy club photography and I am involved in the running of Cwmbran Photographic Society here in South East Wales. I have been a Welsh Photographic Federation judge since around 2000. Judging has taken me to most of the clubs in South East Wales and I thoroughly enjoy seeing the work of other photographers and to critique their images.
