• Entry fee: Free
• Entry deadline: 19th October 2014
• Who can enter: Open to all photographers, worldwide.

Photos can be on any relevant topic: from honeybee behaviour, to beekeeping practices, foraging honeybees and honeybee produce. Giving a few tips for this year’s entrants, Jeremy Owen, Sales Director at Vita and Chairman of the judging panel, said: “This year the judges will be keen to see photographs of beekeeping management in action. Since the photos are linked to months of the year, well-composed out-of-season photographs are likely to stand out from the crowd.”

Prizes:

• The outright winner of the competition will receive a €50 cash prize, plus Vita anti-varroa products for 10 colonies.
• Runners-up will receive a special package of Vita products.
• There is also a special prize for the winner of the under-16s category.
• Winners’ photographs will appear in the 2015 Vita (Europe) Ltd Calendar and they will each receive a copy of the limited edition calendar.

Entrants can submit up to four photos relating to honeybees or beekeeping by emailing them to [email protected].
