My Place Photography Competition
The Scottish Civic Trust’s My Place Photography Competition is a Scotland-wide built environment photography competition for school age young people (4-18).
It encourages young people to explore the buildings, architecture and archaeology in the places they live, and experiment with using photography as a means of investigation and creative expression.
Each year, entries to the My Place Photography Competition are honoured in an awards ceremony – view below our virtual exhibition of previous competition years!
On this page, you'll find everything you need to know about the competition and how to enter.
