AONB photo competition


Anglesey AONB’s 2023 Photo Competition

This summer we are inviting keen photographers to submit their favorite image of Anglesey’s coastline by the closing date of Monday 7th August 2023.

Four winning images will be chosen by award winning photographer, Hanna Baguley, to be featured in the Wales Protected Landscapes calendar for 2024.

The winning image winners will receive a free calendar featuring their image with an AONB gift bag. Meanwhile, the overall winner will also be awarded the opportunity to attend one of our AONB Kayaking events courtesy of Anglesey Adventures, and have their image displayed in the new Information Centre at Holyhead Breakwater Country Park.

Entrants are invited to submit one photo they feel best captures Anglesey’s coastal character. Entries must be digital images of at least 4 megapixels in landscape format by 12pm 7th August 2023. Winners will be announced via Anglesey AONB’s Facebook and Social Media on Friday 18th August 5pm.
