The Photography Show 2026 Competition

Twice in as many months? Yeah, you got that right! We're back with another photo competition ahead of The Photography Show 2026 (NEC Birmingham 14th - 17th March).

This year, we're spotlighting YOU! Our Club AW members who are key to our community - we want to show off your work at TPS 2026. Send us your images shot on any and all analogue formats and a selection of lucky winners will have the chance at getting your work professionally printed and exhibited at The Photography Show 2026 (where around 20,000 people will be visiting) on our stand (A95). Those winners will also receive a professional framed print of the photo from us - there's so much to get excited about. 

This is a FREE competition open to all and your chance to show off your film photography skills. 

🎯 The Challenge 

All you need to do is submit 1 of your favourite images shot on film. Any format will do - 35mm, 120 or 4x5! Simply enter your details and upload your chosen photos via the quick and easy Google Form.

What kind of photos can I submit? Any you like, as long as they're shot on film and, of course, taken by you! Whether that's polished studio portraits, a gorgeous natural landscape vista, or even some resplendent architecture, the sky's the limit so do share it with us.

As always with these competitions, the more creative you are, the more it might catch our eye! If you've already got some in the archive that you're proud of, you're welcome to submit an existing shot too.
