The British Photography Awards is a fully independent body, run by volunteers and showcases the finest photographs taken in England, Scotland, Wales & Northern Ireland. Their team administers a series of regional photography prizes in a range of categories that call for the very best of British photography.

Unlike many other projects, the British Photography Awards are not solely dedicated to highlighting the photographer's art. Instead, they work with different UK charities to help communities that support the competition itself. These organisations are selected based on both their operational ethics and real-world effectiveness.

There are several categories to enter your work into, and the submission fee is £15.
