The jaw-dropping array of prizes for the winner includes:

Lead judge Claire Gillo says, “We’re looking for young, talented photographers who like to push the boundaries and think outside the box.

“Images that catch our attention not only show great technical skill but also some creative thinking and originality goes along way.

“The Young Photographer of the Year 2018, Josh Hinds, bowled us over with his diverse portfolio and high technical ability.

“We can’t wait to see what the youngsters have to offer this year. Already the standard has been very high and it’s great to see so many young people with a passion for photography. ”
