Submission details:

YEARBOOK is their annual awards for photographers, open to all, whatever stage they are at in their career. The Awards and exhibition are promoted to people working within the creative industries and to those who commission photography. They reach out to editors and publishers to share work with them and introduce them to photographers they may not yet know about. With prizes from major industry organisations Alamy, Metro Imaging, Newspaper Club, and Shutter Hub Editions, accompanied by an online exhibition.

YEARBOOK has no theme, it’s all about sharing your best work, and promoting the future of photography. Asking for entries from all photographers, no matter your background or education. Enter images that stand alone to represent your style, skills and the work you’d like to do more of.

They’ll promote your work on our website, to their contacts, through newsletter, and on social media, reaching tens of thousands of people who are interested in photography. Awards judges are looking for a wide variety of photographic work to support, giving opportunities for different genres and approaches.

There are no set entry fees for YEARBOOK, asked to ‘pay what you can’.

Deadline for entries: 11 July 2024 (5pm UK time)

RULES: Each photographer can enter up to 6 images. Images can be from a series or individual images.

SPECIFICATIONS FOR ENTRIES: All submitted files must be named with photographer’s name and title of work. Files that are not labelled correctly may not be accepted. Correct file naming looks like this: lastname_firstname_title_of_image.jpg

Images can be landscape or portrait format.

Submitted images must be jpegs, 2000 pixels wide, 300ppi and no more than 5MB in size. Please submit images in sRGB colour profile.

I supplied from ‘What Lies Beneath’: Cooperation, Harmony, Cooperation, Diversity,  Nourishment, Reciprocity.

Photographers retain copyright and ownership, as always.

 I was asked to provide a paragraph about my image/project (if your work is accepted for the exhibition, this information may also be used for publicity materials).

I supplied:

‘What Lies Beneath’ expresses my reflections on community using the landscape of an ancient woodland to create a visual model where things coexist and support each other. Though humans provoked the work, they are not evident in the images, my local community is often disharmonious and driven by difference. The inclusive, characteristics of these diverse woodland societies, would benefit human communities where sadly ‘incomers’ like myself, are never accepted as local, no matter how long passes – a story common to settings globally. Combining the world in my head with the one in front of me, has helped to heal some of the wounds that inspired the story’s beginning.   

What lies beneath the emerald wrapping, embracing their collective realm?What lies elsewhere beneath man’s disguised demeanour, civil but deliberately divisive?
