Commonwealth Youth Photography Competition 2026

Annual free competition for young photographers aged 18–30 who are citizens or residents of a Commonwealth nation. The 2026 theme, 'Waves of Change', invites images of oceans and waterways — their majesty, their vulnerability, and the communities whose lives depend on them — and of environments and communities in flux. One overall winner receives £1,000; three category winners each receive £250. Winners and finalists gain international recognition, with selected entries showcased at the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting (CHOGM) 2026 in Antigua and Barbuda.
