YOUTH NATURE PHOTO COMPETITION 2025
The Wildscreen ARK Youth Nature Photo Competition is returning – bigger than ever! Running from 22nd April to 20th June 2025, this UK-wide competition invites young people aged 13-18 to capture the beauty of the natural world using just a smartphone.
This year’s theme, “Fresh Perspectives”, encourages creativity and a deeper connection with the natural world. Free resources are available to help teachers and community leaders support young photographers, and there are fantastic prizes up for grabs.
The overall winner will receive a pair of Leica Trinovid BCA Binoculars, and the runners up will take home a Fujifilm Instax Smartphone Printer. Plus, all shortlisted entries will be showcased on wildscreenark.org and in a national billboard campaign this August.
