Green Expo 2026 has launched its fourth year of the annual photography competition, inviting all ages and abilities to participate in celebrating environmental activities in the region – through the lens – phones or cameras.  Entries for 2026 will be accepted until 31 May and are free. Winners of the photo competition will have their pictures on prominent display at Chester Cathedral from the first week of June and be awarded a £100 cash prize.

The competition has three categories: Progress to Net Zero, Climate Change and Nature’s Resilience.

Jane Harrad-Roberts, Project Director of Green Expo UK said; “Photography has the power to inspire, educate, and motivate action, and we look forward to seeing how participants capture the essence of sustainability in the North West and North Wales.”

Entries are open to those under 18, adults 18+, and professional photographers. Jane added; “We are looking forward to seeing how businesses, individuals, nature, science and innovation are contributing towards building a more promising future and inspiring others to follow suit. We have already received entries from November with a record number last year. The process is quick and easy to encourage as many as possible.”

Previous sponsors have included Nikon UK, Apple MCC Digital, Cheshire Energy Hub, Chester Business Improvement District, Chester Cathedral, Chester Zoo and Essar Energy Transition. This year, one more sponsor is still being sought.
