The 2015 Scottish Landscape Photographer of the Year Competition is open for entries and I would be grateful if you would please inform your members.

The competition was set up with the aim of promoting and raising the profiles of photographers and showcasing their work in a hard back book as well as displaying their images in exhibitions that tour across Scotland.

Last year, the competition was hailed as a great success with the book selling out in 5 months and many of the exhibitions being extended for much longer than originally planned. Proceeds from the competition go towards prizes and funding exhibitions.The exhibitions were highly praised and have already been booked by the galleries for this years competition.

This year, the competition prize fund has been increased to £14,000 and we have several new awards and sponsors. The competition has secured the backing of major organisations such as Historic Scotland, National Trust for Scotland, Caledonian MacBrayne, VisitScotland, Scottish Natural Heritage and The John Muir Trust.
