A week in the Life of Emily Hancock

 

My life, you could say, somewhat changed following the addition of my two beautiful bundles of joy. I am no longer 100% focused on me and my business working; no longer working 60 hr weeks. So you won’t be surprised to read that my working day is frankly no more than a quick sprint.  Hear goes the week in the Life of Emily (I think I am going to surprise myself…)

A Message from the Judges

This year’s entries showed exceptional creativity and a strong sense of storytelling. We judged each image on both emotional impact and technical strength, looking at composition, light, atmosphere, connection, colour, sharpness and thoughtful editing.

We were truly moved by the work submitted and are so proud of every photographer who took part. Thank you for trusting us with your art.

Thank You

A heartfelt thank you to our judging panel:

Looking Ahead

We are already excited for next year’s competition and cannot wait to see what you create in 2026.

Until then, keep photographing what inspires you and telling the stories that matter to you.
