WineGB Photography Competition 2025

This year’s competition
We’re doing things a little differently this year. For the WineGB Photography Competition 2025, we’re not only looking for harvest images, but pictures of all the seasons, whether in the vineyard, winery, or cellar door. This is to help us as an organisation better illustrate the journey from vine to bottle and capture the wide variety of work that happens in vineyards and wineries throughout the year. We’ve created 10 submission categories for you to choose from.
The competition will be hosted across the WineGB social media channels and our followers will be asked to vote for their favourite.
Scroll down to enter online and be in with a chance of being crowned WineGB Photographer of the Year!
