Calling all photographers! We’re searching for images of Derby and Derbyshire to form part of ‘Capture Derby’ – a new display launching in-centre this spring.

Celebrating photographers and their pictures of Derby, local communities and Derbyshire, we’re offering anyone with an interest in photography, from beginner to expert, the unique opportunity to have their images on display in-centre throughout the summer.

Set to launch opposite Derby Theatre in May, ‘Capture Derby’ aims to celebrate the talent of local photographers in the region, as well as showcase iconic locations across the region.

The exciting opportunity is open to anyone with an interest in photography, from beginner to professional, and we’re seeking a wide array of pictures including nature, landscape, architecture, sports and street images, to name a few.

A panel of local stakeholders and Derbion employees will select the final images, with as many as possible set to go on show as part of the display and shared across our website and social media platforms.

To submit your photograph for consideration in ‘Capture Derby’, please send your image, a brief description of your photo and your full name to capturederby@rewiredpr.com. The deadline for entries is 11:59pm on Sunday 30th April 2023.
