The annual Rotary Young Photographer Competition provides an opportunity for young photographers to share their talents of capturing moments which easily skip the human eye.
Young Photographer is one of ten competitions organised by Rotary Great Britain and Ireland to challenge young minds. To find out more about what other competitions are available click here.
Each year the participants are provided with a theme to focus on, with this year’s being ‘Colours of Nature’.
As part of this competition, participants aged 7 to 17 are asked to express themselves through a lens and show their interpretation of the annual theme in the most creative way.
