The Beyond the Frame photography competition is open to students aged 11 to 19 both in the UK and around the world, who are in full-time Secondary or Further Education. You do not need to be studying Photography or a creative subject in order to enter.

This year’s competition award categories are:
  • 11-15 age category
  • 16-19 age category
  • ‘Gender Equality’ category
  • ‘Responsible Production & Consumption’ category

Entrants can submit up to three photographs and one piece of moving image (up to one minute in length). They can be a series on the same theme or independent images. They must all be your own work.

Last year’s competition received over 650 entries, with 50 students making it to the final shortlist. These shortlisted entries were displayed in an awards exhibition at Norwich University of the Arts. Their work can be viewed online on the 2024 Shortlist page.

Deadline for entries is 26 February 2025, 4 pm.
