PHOTOGRAPHY & ARTWORK COMPETITION |
Launching 1st April 2025!
We’re excited to host not one, but two competitions running side by side!
We’re looking for photography enthusiasts to capture the beauty of Pollinators and Nature’s Textures in our photography competition.
And, for Gibraltar’s aspiring artists, a painting competition will focus on the theme of Native Plants.
Whether behind the lens or with a paintbrush in hand, this is your chance to showcase your creativity and celebrate the wonders of Gibraltar’s nature.
From January 2025, we’ve planned a full calendar of events to provide you with all the inspiration you need when selecting your subject matter.
These events are tailored to spark creativity and help you fully immerse yourself in the competition themes.
Highlights include a guided Native Walk around Gibraltar, where you can explore local flora up close, and will provide an opportunity to capture, or sketch our native flora and pollinators in action!
