Entries are flooding in for the Photography News Photographer of the Year 2026 contest, but there’s still time to enter Gliding into contention
The response to the Photography News Photographer of the Year competition has been nothing short of incredible. With entries arriving each day from photographers across the UK and beyond, the standard has already reached an exceptionally high level. Every genre is represented here. Astonishing wildlife moments sit alongside magnificent landscapes, creative portraits, captivating street photography and beautifully observed everyday scenes. Some images impress through flawless technical execution, while others stand out because they
tell a story, capture genuine emotion or simply present a familiar subject from a fresh perspective. That’s exactly what this competition is all about. We’re not searching for the most expensive camera or the longest lens. We’re looking for photographs that stop people turning the page; images that make us smile, think, wonder or simply admire the skill behind them. Great photography is about far more than sharpness or pixels. With 11 categories, there are more opportunities than ever to showcase your work.
The photographs and photographers featured on these pages are just a small selection of the superb entries we have received so far this year. If you haven’t entered yet, don’t worry, there’s still plenty of time to join them. Entry is completely free, there’s no limit to the number of photographs you can submit and every image has the chance to impress our expert judges. Your next image could be the one we’re talking about in the next issue. You can enter the contest now through photographynews.co.uk , with the deadline set for 14 August. Winners
will be revealed in issue 129, out in September. Read on to see some standout entries and find out about the categories you could enter into.
