Wine lovers, photography enthusiasts, and supporters of local creativity are being urged to cast their vote as public voting officially opens for the WineGB Photography Competition.
Celebrating the beauty, craft, and character of Great Britain’s thriving wine industry, this year’s competition has drawn an impressive range of entries from across the region, capturing everything from spring tours in the vineyard to the hands‑on artistry of winemaking.
The public vote now plays a crucial role in deciding which images will be crowned the favourites and progress toward national recognition. Members of the public can view the shortlisted images and cast their vote via the WineGB social channels where a different category will be open for votes each week from 23rd April-26th June.
Emma Rix, WineGB Creative Manager: “The photography competition is a celebration of the people and places that make our wine industry so special. Public voting gives everyone a chance to champion the stories and scenery that resonate with them and will hopefully encourage them to go and check out their local producers.”
The competition highlights the diversity and quality of Great British wine production and raises the profile of regional vineyards and winemakers, encouraging consumers to make new traditions and drink English & Welsh wine.
A panel of experts will be shortlisting the entries before they go to the public vote, including Alex Turner Freelance photojournalist (as featured in National Geographic and New York Times, Galia Pike Artist, Illustrator, Wine Label Designer and MJ, photographer behind ‘Saltwick’.
