Enter our Faith Through a Lens competition and
win up to £1,000 worth of audio visual or photographic equipment, for you and your chosen charity, faith or community group.
We’re looking to find the amateur photographer who best captures the essence of faith and the community.

This year to coincide with the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee, Faith Through a Lens has introduced a new category to highlight A Year of Service.

This is an initiative supported by the Department of Communities and Local Government, which highlights the voluntary work carried out by people of faith and aims to forge links between volunteers on 12 specific days coinciding with religious festivals or existing volunteering days.

Photographs will be judged based on emotional connection, creativity and originality, visual impact and composition. To view the competition guidelines and the categories click here.

Good photography is ideally a form of collaboration between the subject and the photographer. The best pictures are captured when the photographer has established a rapport with his or her subject. This invariably shines through in those pictures that touch us.
