A little bird told us…that the Support Cambridgeshire photo competition is back for 2026!
We’re delighted to announce the return of this wonderful form of expression, offering organisations a chance to showcase their work.
This year’s theme: Connection
The competition is open now until 4pm on Wednesday 14 October to Support Cambridgeshire members
What’s in it for you?
Take a look at this exciting opportunity to get involved in our 2026 photo competition. We’d love to showcase your organisation and the valuable work you do through powerful images. We know the difference local charities and community groups make every day, and this is your chance to share that impact.
Shortlisted entries will be displayed at a future Support Cambridgeshire event. Winning photographs will also be featured in our communications, including social media, newsletters and other publications. Cash prizes will be awarded to the organisations behind the winning photographs.
The theme – Connection – can encompass any part of what your organisation does, whether that’s photos of your team working in the office, your volunteers doing what they do best, (improving their own lives as well as those who benefit), your organisation running an event, having contact with the people you support, looking after your green space or community building. Let your imagination run wild!
Anyone who is involved with one of our local voluntary organisations can take part – clients, volunteers, staff or trustees. Make sure you share the details of the competition with your teams to encourage a variety of photos.
Images may be added to our photo library to use in our marketing and communications, including our website, and social media channels.
