Photography Competition

The Cornwall National Landscape has a rich culture, both past and present, that contributes greatly to local distinctiveness. The stunning landscapes of Cornwall National Landscape are celebrated in the works of authors, artists and performances by theatre companies. The protected landscape is formed of rolling farmland, wild uplands, sheltered estuaries, rivers, and the varied coastline and coastal landscape.

Cornwall National Landscape is unique, the only protected landscape in the UK that has 12 separate sections, 10 are coastal, 1 is estuarine and 1 is moorland.

National Landscapes are living and working landscapes where human activities are part of everyday life; people enjoy all aspects of the countryside and 75% of Cornwall National Landscape consists of farmed land.

For this year’s Photo Competition, we want you to portray what makes Cornwall National Landscape so special to you, from the flora and fauna, bees and birds and diverse landscapes. Local people and tourists visit sections of the protected landscape to experience and enjoy its varied landscapes and features.

The historic environment contributes to local identity and wellbeing from prehistoric landscapes and archaeological features to mining remains and glorious parks and gardens.
