You can participate in the fourth British Life Photography Awards, open to all photographers; amateur, professional and all ages.
Prizes
In addition to the prestige and exposure in the press, exhibition and book there is a £15,000 prize fund from lead sponsor Sony. The overall winner will receive Sony products worth approximately £7,000.
Categories
With ten separate categories including street life, rural life, portraiture and a special new category for students at university, the awards are a unique visual celebration of British life, in all its richness and diversity, creating an enduring visual record of the spirit and essence of our nation.
Documenting daily life has been a tradition for over a century, so just like the great documentary photographers of the past and present, we want to encourage photographers to elevate the commonplace and familiar into something compelling or fascinating through the craft, creativity and discipline of photography.
