The annual South West Coast Path Photographer of the Year competition is calling for entries

Have you been out on the South West Coast Path during 2024?

Could you have the winning image on your camera reel? 

Why not get involved and help support the charity that protects the South West Coast Path.

The annual photography competition is entering its 13th year, with the charity keen to receive images captured on the South West Coast Path during 2024.

Entries help raise the profile of the Trail and the amazing places which it connects – as well as tell the story of some of the threats to its future.

The 2023 competition culminated in a stunning large-scale exhibition at Paddington Station, London, with 21 breathtaking images on display.

Building upon this success, the charity is working towards hosting an exhibition in 2025 to once again showcase a selection of winning images captured along England’s longest and most beloved national trail.

The competition is free to enter and open to all, whether you’re professional, or amateur, this is a chance for everyone to celebrate the magic and wonder of the South West Coast Path and all it has to offer.  

There are five categories to enter: People and Path; Urban Lines; Nature; Climate Change; Sky Shot, PLUS Young Photographer of the Year Award (under 18).

The competition is organised by the South West Coast Path Association, the charity that cares for, champions, and connects people to the South West Coast Path.

So, if you haven’t already, get out and get snapping, maybe you’ll be crowned the 2024 South West Coast Path Photographer of the Year!
