Do you have an eye for a breathtaking view? Love capturing the magic of Scotland on camera? Now’s your chance to share your best shots with the world — and win cash prizes!
We’re calling on all Courier readers to take part in our Photographer of the Year competition — a celebration of the stunning landscapes, wildlife, landmarks and hidden gems across Courier Country.
From lochs to lighthouses. From glens to golden eagles.
Wherever you’ve found beauty — we want to see it.
Whether it’s a favourite local view, a once-in-a-lifetime scene, or a moment that made you pause in awe, send us your best photo, tell us what it means to you, and give your shot a title.
Fabulous cash prizes up for grabs, along with a keepsake trophy:
- £250 – Winning Photo
- £100 – Highly Commended
- £100 – Editor’s Special Recognition Award
Plus, the top entries will feature in the Courier as part of a week’s worth of stunning double-page spreads, and you will also have a chance to have your photo on our front pages!
Open to amateur photographers only – no pro kit or experience needed, just your passion and a great image.
