Welcome to the North Dorset Photo Competition. This exciting initiative, run in collaboration with Visit Dorset and North Dorset towns - Blandford Forum, Gillingham, Shaftesbury, Sherborne, and Sturminster Newton - celebrates the beauty and charm of our region as a must-visit destination through the art of photography. We’re inviting you to capture the essence of your town – its landscapes, culture, and community – and share your unique perspective. Whether you’re a professional photographer or someone who loves snapping pictures on your phone, this is your chance to showcase what makes your town truly special.

The competition is open to all ages and skill levels, with categories for Under 18s, 18 and over, and Professional Photographers in each town.
