The exhibition is a member of BPE and also enjoys PAGB patronage (2025-016). Last year Photo2024 attracted 5,300 entries with 1,232 gaining acceptances and 82 receiving awards. 
 
Due to increases in Postage charges we have had to, after 22 years, increase the minimum entry fee by £1.00 to £7.00. This covers 4 images which can, if desired, be spread over different catagories. The cost for additional images remains unchanged at £1.50

To assist entrants to not enter a previously accepted image then there is a menu option, after signing in, to 'View Past Accepted' images since 2015 provided that they are using the same email address/account.

Before paying, changes can continue to be made - images added/deleted/renamed.
