This competition is now closed
We received more than 1,300 entries for the competition across the three categories and we would like to thank everyone who sent in their photographs.
We now have the very difficult task of shortlisting the best of the images, and will shortly release details in due course of how you can vote for the overall winner in each category.
Until then, here are a selection of some of our favourite entries from the last time we ran the competition in 2019.
The Categories
Wildlife and Conservation
We’re looking for photos that capture and convey the intrinsic link between shooting and conservation. That might be an insight into a management practice – think coppicing, predator control, muirburn, tree planting or wetland creation – or it may be an image of one of the many species that benefit from sustainable shooting. We’ll leave it to you…

Working dogs

All products are British made and help to sustain energetic output, while preparing and supporting the important development and recovery of muscles and cardiovascular systems.
In the field
From deer stalking to bush beating, and wildfowling to decoying pigeons, this is your chance to submit your ‘out there and doing it’ photos. Have you an image that captures excitement or anticipation, the beauty of our natural environment, friendship, the next generation…? We want to see it!
Sponsored by Albert and Maurice
WIN 4 new Albert and Maurice shirts + a £750 voucher to spend with Philip Morris & Son
The idea of Albert and Maurice came to light just over two years ago. There was no chance meeting, no lightbulb moment, just two brothers with a desire to design and manufacture a shirt that would give the wearer a look of distinctive style – something to take pride in wearing.
Since then, the Albert and Maurice brand has become the embodiment of quality English country living. Each shirt in its unique collection can be worn everywhere and anywhere. Sumptuously soft; 100 per cent cotton; classic and contemporary fit. This is a new wardrobe staple.
