The 2026 Boundless Photography Competition
The Boundless Photography Competition is officially open!
Whether you’re a passionate photography enthusiast or simply love snapping great moments on your phone, we want to see your best shots. Take a look through your favourite photos – or start taking new ones – and send them in for your chance to win.
There are multiple opportunities to take home fantastic prizes, with winners selected across five categories, members choice, plus a new Young Photographer award to get the whole family involved.
Once the competition closes, our Member Choice category opens for two weeks, giving all members the chance to vote for their favourite overall snap. During this time, our panel of expert judges will be reviewing all entries to choose the category winners and the overall winner.
All competition winners will be announced in the Autumn issue of Boundless magazine, so make sure to check it out!
The competition submission window closes at midnight on 30th June 2026.
