I’m absolutely thrilled to share that I’ve been awarded four Bronze Medals in The Guild of Photographers’ Image of the Month competition! This is a highly competitive national contest judged by experts across multiple photography associations, making any award a huge achievement. While I always strive for perfection, I’m incredibly proud to see my work recognised on this level – and it’s a great motivator to keep pushing my creativity even further!
“Congratulations in achieving your Bronze Bar, which is only awarded to images of a strong standard in this national competition (something to be proud of)!”
What the Competition Is
The Guild of Photographers’ Image of the Month competition is one of the most respected and rigorous photography contests in the UK. Each month, professional photographers submit their best work, which is then assessed by a full panel of highly qualified judges. The competition follows strict international judging criteria, making it a real challenge to earn an award.
Images are graded into different levels: Bronze, Silver, Gold, or the exceptionally rare Platinum. To even receive a Bronze Bar means the image has been deemed of a strong national standard, which is an achievement in itself!
Pushing for Silver and Gold
While I’m incredibly proud of my Bronze awards, I’m even more motivated now to push for Silver and Gold! The judging in this competition is exceptionally tough, and every level up represents a major leap in skill, technique, and storytelling. My goal is to take everything I’ve learned from this experience – both the wins and the areas for improvement – and refine my work even further.
It’s not just about chasing awards; it’s about growing as a photographer, elevating my artistry, and continuing to create images that truly connect with people. Here’s to the next challenge!
A Proud Achievement – and the Journey Continues!
Winning 4 Bronze Medals in The Guild of Photographers’ competition is an exciting milestone! This contest is incredibly tough, judged to international standards, and receiving any award is a major achievement. While I always aim high, I’m proud to have my work recognised at this level and can’t wait to keep pushing myself further – next stop, Silver and Gold!
