Entries open today for the Liverpool City Region Photo Awards with cash prizes for the best images across six categories.
The competition, delivered by Open Eye Gallery with the support of Liverpool City Region Combined Authority, is seeking photographs depicting celebration, connection, futures, shared spaces, movement and care.
Winning entries chosen by a panel of independent judges will be displayed as part of the Liverpool City Region Photo Awards 2025 exhibition at Open Eye Gallery in November, where an image from every single entry will be featured in a Digital Window Gallery.
Category winners will be awarded £500, while those commended receive a prize of £100.
With its varied landscape, dynamic communities and urban areas, Liverpool City Region is a paradise for photographers with the last competition attracting hundreds of entries from across Halton, Knowsley, Liverpool, Sefton, St Helens and Wirral.
This year’s categories support that cohesive theme. Images can be taken anywhere at any time, but entrants must currently live in the Liverpool City Region. They will then be considered by arts and industry professionals who will shortlist the winners.
Entry is free and open to anyone living in the city region (Halton, Knowsley, Liverpool, Sefton, St Helens, Wirral). Pictures can be submitted here until the closing date of 14 September 2025.
