Amateur Photographer of the Year (APOY) is the UK’s most prestigious photography competition for amateur photographers.
The competition has 10 rounds, each with a different theme. The themes for the 2026 competition will be: Street, Black & White, Animal Kingdom, Celebrating Colour, Architecture, People & Portraits, Landscapes, Close-up & Macro, Night & Low Light, and Open (anything goes!). Thanks to George, Lynne, Neil and David Muir the Club at Scottish, UK and international level exceeded all expectations in the 2025 competition. Just think what we could do if 60% of the membership entered rather than 6%. As the 1st Round (Street) of the Competition has just started please find David Muir’s Guidance on our M&BCC Social WhatsApp Page and our Facebook page and Jack will provide Website support on his return later this month
