Weddings We’re seeking photographs that capture the spirit of a wedding day – from heartfelt glances to big celebrations. Whether your image spotlights the grandeur of a lavish event or the intimacy of a quiet moment, it should convey the story, atmosphere and emotion of the day. Strong lighting and a creative eye will help you stand out.
Black & white This category celebrates the art of monochrome. Submit images that make powerful use of contrast, shadow and tone. We’re looking for photographs that feel refined, expressive and deliberate – whether that’s in subtle greys or bold blacks & whites. Shape, texture and emotion take centre stage.
