The competition is open to everyone who likes taking photographs. We have classes for adults and for children under the age of 16. 

The Museum's six categories are:

  • Towns & Villages
  • The Coast & The Sea
  • Characters
  • Landscape
  • Wildlife
  • Anything Goes!

Long standing reporter for the North Devon Gazette, Tony Gussin, will have the difficult task of judging this section of the competition.

 'Wildlife and Habitats' is the theme for The North Devon Coast Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty category and the judges will be Dave Edgcombe, AONB Project Officer, and Ross Hoddinott, one of the UK's leading Natural History and Landscape photographers.

'Moorland, Bogs and Coastal Heath' is the theme for The Exmoor Moorland Landscape Partnership category sponsored by the Heart of Exmoor Scheme, with Jason Ball the EMLP Scheme Manager selecting the winners.

For 2015 we welcome Westside Warehouse Books who are the publishers of the new Tarka Trail Guide Book. 'Life on the Tarka Trail' is their theme and the judges, co-author Carl Klinkenborg and photographer Mike Southon, will be looking for entries which really capture the magic, enjoyment and unique experience of the Tarka Trail.

So if you're out and about on Lundy Island, exploring Exmoor, walking along North Devon's spectacular coast, cycling the Tarka Trail, watching the wildlife or enjoying the myriad of events in the area why not take a picture and enter the North Devon Heritage Photographic Competition! 

The exhibition of selected entries 'North Devon in Photographs' runs from 7th November 2015 to 9th January 2016. Admission FREE.
