There are eight categories in which you can enter a maximum of two images per category:

1: An Island Playground
Get out in the fresh sea air for loads of island fun! Perhaps you enjoy mucking about in boats, island-hopping, fishing off the rocks, rock pooling, paddleboarding, sea swimming, or trail running, coasteering, and off-road cycling? However you choose to enjoy being active on Scilly, be sure to share it with us.

2: Creative Scilly
Embrace Scilly’s creative side, and help us to celebrate the islands’ distinctive arts and culture scene – through our resident artists, island heritage, arty events and galleries! Think cool and quirky pieces of art, crafts and design, artists on location and pieces that’ll inspire future generations.

3: Escape to Scilly
We’re looking for hints of why Scilly is a great place to be able to switch off and get away from it all. That sense of wellness, meditation, total relaxation, and being at one with yourself and the stunning surroundings.

4: Islands at work
Our people, our livelihoods and living on Scilly. This category can include people, places, wildlife and pastimes - but it needs to tell a story about life on the islands and people at work. You get the picture!

5: Natural Scilly
Step outside into Scilly’s wilder side - the interpretation is up to you. Big waves, starry skies, Scilly shrews, playful seals and seabirds can all feature, alongside Scilly’s flowers, elms, birds, caves and coves – as well as the beaches and crystal clear waters (of course!).

6: Our History & Heritage
Capture the essence of Scilly’s maritime history, Bronze Age and Iron Age artefacts, or perhaps elements of our Elizabethan history, Pilot Gig heritage or role in World War II. Explore and you will find!

7: Secret Scilly
Turn secret Scilly squirrel and seek out some of our hidden gems! We think we know just about everywhere there is to go on this particular archipelago as well as all the islands’ individual characteristics, so time to seek out some nooks and crannies and prove us wrong!

8: Taste of Scilly
Tuck into this category by snapping your favourite Scilly plate of food before you scoff it down or by capturing the lovely local produce you discover on your walks. Tell us, through your photos, about Scilly’s great places to eat and what you love most about the islands’ food and drink.
