Aimed at amateur photographers, Canon’s Redline Challenge is designed to assess creativity, test technical know-how and encourage photographers to push themselves. The competition features an inspiring line-up of Canon Ambassadors, who will share their insights, plus pro tips and tricks, for mastering each Redline Challenge brief. The first of these – Light in the Dark – calls for photographers to explore the possibilities of shooting in low light, as well as the relationship between light and shadow, contrast and colour. The competition’s grand prize is a whopping £14,000 worth of Canon kit, including an EOS R5 and three RF lenses. The winner also gets an exclusive mentoring session with Canon Ambassador Lorenz Holder, a multiple Red Bull Illume winner. Entrants have until 23:59 on 31 May to submit their images, which can be taken on any device, and the competition is free to enter. There are three rounds, with the judges’ shortlist of ten finalists revealed on the Canon website in June. The overall winner will be announced by 27 June. canon.co.uk/redline-challenge Canon into the red
