Green Expo Photography Competition

Photographing the world around us helps us to connect with that world and, hopefully, to understand it a little better. Many competitions focus on the negative aspects of climate change but Green Expo would like to focus on the positive aspects of renewable energy, innovation, the natural world and positive steps towards Net Zero.

The Green Expo Photography Competition was new last year and is open to all ages and abilities right now (deadline for 2024 entries is May 31st).

There are 3 categories:

  • Progress to Net Zero: Energy & Innovation, Reducing waste
  • Climate Change; Wind, Waves and Weather
  • The Natural world’s resilience; City, Countryside and Coastline. Coping, despite the challenges.

Each category is for:

  • Ages up to 18.
  • Adults aged 19 and over.
  • Professional Photographers.

(That totals 9 awards).
