2019 Pixel Prize Theme: Season

Pixel Prize

The theme of this years’ Pixel Prize is ‘Seasons.’ We invite you to create an original photograph or a digital collage that engages in any way with this theme. Everyone has their own special story, interest or curiosity – share it with us. A season could be the changes that come in the weather or our surrounding at different times of the year. Your subject could be the reaction to the change in season.  It could be a change in your age or your circumstances which brings a new season in your or your photographed subjects’ lives. A season can also be a period of time when a particular sporting or festival season is on.

Thank you to all 2018 participants who submitted their wonderful photographs reflecting empathy and congratulations to our winners and finalists.
