The Royal Horticultural Society photographic competition offers free entry and cash prizes await the winners.

With the overall winner pocketing £5000 and with 20 other cash prizes at stake, the annual Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) photographic competition is well worth entering – and entry is free. Amateur and professional camera users are eligible and there are nine categories including Urban Gardening, Abstract, Portfolio, All About Plants and Welcoming Garden Wildlife.
