Inner Forth Photography Contest
Are you a keen amateur photographer? Do you enjoy taking pictures of the Inner Forth area? If so, the Climate FORTH team want to hear from you!
We are delighted to announce our first Climate FORTH Inner Forth Photography Contest. We are inviting amateur photographers to submit entries reflecting the amazing built and natural heritage of the Inner Forth region. *Please see map, below, for geographical details.*
Whether you opt for images of the amazing birds and wildlife of the area - or the equally impressive buildings and historical structures - we want to see your best shots, demonstrating the stunning heritage we have here within our project boundaries.

Where should my photographs be taken?
The map below shows the area in which photographs should be taken, and is also our wider project engagement area. The boundary is flexible within reason - if there is something just outside of the boundary that really inspires you, then go for it! However, the competition is meant to reflect photographs from the Inner Forth, so if your photograph is significantly out with the boundary (for example, Edinburgh), your photo may be disqualified.
How do I enter?
- Send your submissions in JPEG or PNG format via WeTransfer to info@innerforthlandscape.co.uk (Please note these will be exhibited in A3 format).
- Any further questions, please contact William Seaborne at William.seaborne@rspb.org.uk
