Sponsored by Honor
We have teamed up with leading smartphone maker Honor to offer a unique, free-to-enter competition seeking your best photos taken at night – either with a camera or a smartphone.
Sponsored. Any camera or smartphone brand can be used, so this is a great chance to show off your night photography prowess.
If you are still off work, or just relaxing, during this period between Christmas and new year, this is a great time to get your night pictures ready to enter.
Any photographic genre is acceptable, so long as the image was taken at night (or in very low light).
It is also OK to enter night images from your photo collection.

Famous five
So, between now and midnight (GMT) on Sunday January 18th 2026, please send us up to five of your best photos taken at night. As mentioned, competition is free to enter, and is only open to residents of the UK and Ireland (but you can submit images taken anywhere in the world).
From these entries, the judging panel will draw up a shortlist of six photographers, who will then be sent Honor’s new flagship smartphone, the Magic8 Pro (full details of this exciting new phone will be announced soon).
These six entrants will then be invited to take up to five more images with the new phone, and from this we will select one overall winner and two runners up.
Great prizes to be won
- The winner receives Honor’s new flagship phone, the Magic8 Pro, plus a city break to Barcelona from February 28th to March 3rd, where they will be Honor’s guest at the Mobile World Congress on March 2nd. Honor will cover the cost of flights and accommodation. The winner will also be invited as Honor’s guest to the glittering Amateur Photographer Awards in London on February 26th to receive their award.
- Two runners up will get to keep the Magic8 Pro phone which was sent to them after being shortlisted. We will also give ‘Commended’ badges to good entries that didn’t quite make the shortlist.
