Entry Form
Subject matter and format
- Entries may be in black and white or in colour.
- Retouching / manipulation of images is accepted provided that all works are original works and not copies of other people's works.
- Entries must reflect the entrant’s own image of Heritage. There is no fixed definition of heritage, it is for the entrant to decide on the image that reflects their heritage, and use the caption to explain why their image defines their heritage. This can include old/historical buildings; the natural environment; an image that reflects local history, myths and legends; manufactured items or pictures; or the heritage that individuals hold in their memory.
- Entrants must provide a short caption of not more than 100 words to accompany their image, explaining why the entrant feels that the image reflects their heritage.
- Entrants may enter a photograph that has previously been entered into or has won another photography competition, provided that, by doing so, the Entrant is not in breach of the terms and conditions of this HLF or any other photography competition.
Judging and notification
The caption will be taken into account for the selection of the winners, as this gives entrants an opportunity to explain why their image is important to them.
The Judges' decision is final and no discussion or correspondence can be entered into in respect of their decision.
Prizes

- £250 Jessops camera shop gift card for the youth club, project, school or college attended by the winning entrant, or a youth project of their choice
