Scottish Landscape Photography competition launches for second successive year

One entrance from last year

A photography competition which aims to capture Scotland in all its glory has been launched.

The Scottish Landscape Photographer of the Year invites snappers from across the world to send in pictures capturing the country’s scenery.

Entrants will have the opportunity to see their work produced in a book and also displayed in exhibitions across Scotland next year.

Last year, Aberdeen-based Willem Vlotman won the best seascape category for his picture of stormy weather at the city harbour.

The competition, now in its second year, is the brainchild of Fife-based photographer Stuart Low, who said he was delighted the inaugural one had proved so popular.

He said: “I’m absolutely delighted that the competition is continuing again this year.

“The competition is all about promoting photography and tourism, and the inaugural competition has proved to have been a great success.

“The book we produced is a best seller in the shops and the exhibition of winning images was so popular that they had extended runs at various galleries across Scotland.

“The exhibitions have been a notable success of the competition.

“In this day and age we’re used to seeing images on a screen, but seeing the winning images printed and hanging on a wall has seen several of the photographers earn sales and many visitors have been inspired by their work to take up photography too.”

The competition has categories for amateur, professional and young photographers, and is open to people both in the UK and abroad.

And thanks to its success last year, sponsorship from Academy Class, Caledonian MacBrayne, Calumet Photographic, Fotospeed, Scottish Natural Heritage and Formatt-Hitceh means the prize fund now stands at £14,000.
