Brief
This category is open to anyone aged 13-17 on 5th September 2021. There are no restrictions – you can submit images of any bug and/or bug habitat, taken on any device. Have a look at the other category briefs for ideas and inspiration.
The title of Young Bug Photographer of the Year will be awarded to the photographer whose single image wins this category. You can enter up to 6 images into this category, and whilst the title will be awarded on the basis of a single image, where a photographer has submitted other high quality images, this may be taken into consideration by the judging panel.
'Young Bug Photographer' is sponsored by MPB, who are giving a £500 (GBP) gift voucher to the category winner. There are loads of other great prizes, too, for the 1st, 2nd , 3rd and shortlisted photographers.
