Monthly Competition
January 2026
This is a monthly competition in which members are invited to enter their landscape images and are asked to vote for the top three at the end of the month.
The winning images are displayed on the Landscape Group website, in newsletters, and on Facebook.
Themed Competition
Low Light
There’s a particular kind of magic when the light begins to fade. Colours soften, shadows lengthen, and the landscape slips into a quieter register — dusk and dawn, mist and moonlight, lamplit streets, star-sprinkled skies, and those in-between moments where atmosphere takes centre stage. This theme invites you to follow the glow: to find beauty in silhouettes, reflections, gentle pools of illumination, and the calm drama that emerges when the world is lit only sparingly.
Whether you’re working with a tripod and long exposures, embracing grain and mood, or simply responding to what the night gives you, we’d love to see your interpretation of Low Light.
The competition is open and runs until 20 January 2026.
