Win a chance to exhibit your photography at Winkworth Arboretum. The top ten shortlisted images will be displayed in the Arboretum, and a winner of this years competition will be announced.

  • Booking not needed
  • Free event (admission applies)

Calling all photographers and nature enthusiasts!

We are offering nature photographers an opportunity to exhibit their photographs of Winkworth Arboretum this spring. The top ten shortlisted photos will be exhibited.

The theme of the competition is 'Tranquillity'. Whether it’s the gentle play of sunlight filtering through the trees, the seasonal colours, or the quiet stillness of the water, there’s no better place to get out with your camera and get snapping for a chance to win.

How to enter: Email your photos (minimum file size is 4mb and 300dpi) labelled 'Winkworth Photography Competition' in the subject line to winkworth.arboretum@nationaltrust.org.uk before 23:59 on Monday, 28 April 2025.

Please provide your name and contact information in your email, the date and location you took the photo(s), plus an explanation (50 words max) of why you took the picture and why it meets the brief.

All photographs must be taken within the grounds of Winkworth. They do not need to be new photographs.

No more than two entries per person, and please ensure that your images do not include people.

Winning Entries: We will credit the winners' names alongside the images as part of the exhibition, on the website and social media. If you object to your name being published or wish to reduce the amount of information published, please state this in your entry email or contact us separately.

Full terms and conditions available on request.
