This summer, we invited amateur photographers to take part in our exciting photography competition for a chance to win a fantastic prize!
We asked you to take a photograph that captures the essence of Nottinghamshire’s natural environment, within our City, towns and villages and the surrounding countryside. The photo could be of a general landscape or focus on a particular animal or plant species native to Nottinghamshire. We asked you to explain where the photo was taken and why it represents nature in our county.
Thank you to all the talented photographers who submitted entries to the competition.
The winning photo will be featured on the County Council website and social media, and on the cover of the Nottinghamshire and Nottingham Local Nature Recovery Strategy when it is published in November 2025.
Our expert panel included representatives from Nottinghamshire Wildlife Trust, Nottingham City Council, and the Chair of Nottinghamshire County Council. After careful deliberation, our judging panel has selected one overall winner and nine highly commended photographers, who have been notified of the results.
Everyone who entered the competition has been contacted, including those whose submissions were not successful. If you have not received an email, it may be due to an issue reaching you at the address provided in your entry form, so please contact us at LNRSNN@nottscc.gov.uk.
The winning photograph, along with the nine highly commended images, will be publicly announced in due course and displayed on this website.
