Aberdeen photography competition set to inspire creativity this winter

The contest, themed ‘Light in the Dark,’ is a collaboration between Aberdeen Arts Centre and North East Scotland College (NESCol).

The competition is divided into two categories: 18+ and 17 & Under. The top three entries in each category will be displayed in an exhibition at Aberdeen Arts Centre, and first-place winners will also receive family tickets to the 2025 pantomime, Robin Hood.

Judged by local expertise

Steve Smith, a photography lecturer at NESCol, will serve as the competition’s judge. Smith described the theme as a way to highlight the beauty and moments of joy that can be found even during the winter months.

Promoting creativity

The competition is part of Aberdeen Arts Centre’s broader Creative Learning programme, which provides opportunities for community participation in various artistic disciplines. The initiative is designed to encourage creativity and engagement within the local community.

How to enter
