Snap your community in action for Norfolk Day
Get your cameras ready – our annual photo competition is back, celebrating the incredible work of local charities and community groups across Norfolk.
This Norfolk Day, we’re shining a spotlight on the people, places, and projects that make our communities thrive. We’re calling on charities and voluntary organisations across the county to share photos that highlight community spirit in action – whether it’s a local event, a volunteer initiative, or a moment that captures the heart of your work.
The winning entry will receive a £500 cash prize, with a second prize of £300 and a third prize of £200 available.
Following shortlisting and then decision by an expert panel, the winning images will be announced to celebrate Norfolk Day on Sunday 27th July 2025. Three winners will receive a cash prize of up to £500 to support the work of their community group and we aim to feature as many entries as possible throughout our work during the next year.
Deadline for submission is Tuesday 15th July 2025.
