Parallel Lines

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.

Competition Judge

Andre Neves

I’ve been fascinated by Nature and Photography since my childhood years in Portugal. I started my photography journey in the days of film, some three decades ago, when I used to borrow my father’s camera, a reliable Nikon SLR. I loved the simplicity of the mechanics and also miss the light weight of the camera body!

My favourite photographic genres are Nature and Monochrome. I am mystified by the secret world of insects and their habitats and have developed a strong interest in macro photography. I am also passionate about conservation and a firm believer that we all have a critical role to play in the preservation of our wonderful planet.

I live in Foxton, a beautiful village in Cambridgeshire.

I am an active member of two fantastic clubs, the Melbourn & District Photo Club and the Cambridge Camera Club.

I am a member of the Royal Photographic Society, having been awarded their Licentiateship (LRPS) in 2019 and Associateship (ARPS) in 2021. I have also received a Credit (CPAGB) from the Photographic Alliance of Great Britain in 2022, their Distinction (DPAGB) in 2023 and have been selected a C Panel judge in the same year.

Hope you enjoy my work.
