SILSOE PHOTOGRAPHY COMPETITION 2025
The theme for our 2025 Photography Competition is
JOURNEYS
The closing date is 6pm on 30 September 2025
There are two classes:
17 and under
18 and over
You can enter up to 5 photos, which you must have taken yourself. The photos can be taken anywhere – they don’t need to be taken in Silsoe.
Phone or camera – it doesn’t matter which – just get snapping!
We will be offering drop-in printing sessions again,
so no worries if you don’t have a printer.
Rev Simon and Rev Louise are the judges for the Competition and all entries will be on display at the Silsoe Photography Exhibition on 11 October 2025 when the winners will be announced, plus there will be a vote for the People’s Choice.
Here are some thoughts which might provide inspiration:
Physical Journeys Capture modes of transportation—trains, planes, bicycles, or walking paths—that symbolize movement.
Emotional Journeys Focus on moments that convey growth, change, or transformation, whether through portraits or candid shots.
Cultural Journeys Document experiences in different cultures, festivals, or traditions that highlight the diversity of human experiences.
Nature Journeys Showcase landscapes or wildlife, illustrating the journey through various ecosystems or seasons.
Urban Journeys Highlight the vibrancy of city life, capturing the hustle and bustle of streets, markets, or public transportation.
Departure Photograph a moment of beginning—a bus station, airport, or someone packing for a trip.
The Road Less Travelled Focus on off-the-beaten-path locations or unexpected journeys.
Travel Companions Capture the bond between people on a journey—friends, family, or even pets.
Milestones Document significant moments during a journey, such as reaching a summit, crossing a border, or celebrating an achievement.
Homecoming Reflect on the emotions tied to returning home after a journey, whether it’s a trip or a life change
