LovePoundbury Through Your Lens - Youth Category

LovePoundbury has launched a dedicated Youth Category for its "Love Poundbury Through Your Lens" photography competition aimed at A-level photography students and creative 16-18 year olds. The competition invites young photographers-whether studying photography at school or enjoying photography on their phones-to submit images that capture Poundbury from their unique perspective.

There are four entry categories: Architecture & Urban Design; Landscapes & Natural Beauty; Community & Everyday Life; and Creative Perspectives. Winners receive prizes up to £100 and a large canvas print of the winning photograph.

Winning work will be professionally framed and exhibited at the Duchess of Cornwall Inn from 8-21 June 2026, and winners will be celebrated at an awards ceremony on 8 June 2026. Entry is affordable and straightforward: £2 for one photo or £5 for three, submitted online at www.

lovepoundbury. org/through-your-lens. The closing date for submissions is 26 April 2026.

Teachers are specifically encouraged to share this opportunity with A-level photography classes as a real-world exhibition and portfolio-building chance.
