Photo North Festival announces free national student photography competition.  The theme is HOPE and winners will get to exhibit their work at Photo North Festival in April 2025.

Through our daily lives, news channels and social media feeds, HOPE can too easily be consumed by negativity, anxiety and alienation.

HOPE can raise the spirits, generate pride and self belief. It has the power to heal and to help, to give freedom to dreams. HOPE can bring a positive dimension to our lives.

What is hope and why does it matter? Through our photography competition we encourage you to think about HOPE and what an image of HOPE looks like to you.
