Now firmly established as one of the UK’s most prestigious photography competitions, LCE Photographer of the Year, is back with a bumper crop of outstanding images for 2025. The final shortlisted entries are displayed in the LCE Gallery located next to the show entrance. Winning entries for the 14 diverse categories and overall competition winner will be announced live on the adjacent Creator Stage on Sunday, 9 March at 15:45. The competition is supported by the major photographic brands, including Canon, Nikon & Sony, it is free-to-enter and offers an impressive £10,000 in prizes.

 Step back in time and browse never-before-seen photographs from the 1948 Olympic Games in London. The team at the Disabled Photographers' Society developed a film roll which was left in their donation box at the show in 2024... and made an astonishing discovery. The photographer remains a mystery; perhaps you know of someone who might have taken these shots?

Discovered and developed by the Disabled Photographers' Society.

Liz was just 16 when she was diagnosed with a rare and aggressive cancer called Desmoplastic Small Round Cell Tumour. In the ten months that followed the talented teenager was determined not to let her prognosis define her. Her passion for photography sustained her; leading to opportunities that took her from an investiture ceremony at Windsor Castle to red carpets, West End Theatre shows and London Fashion Week. Liz died, on the 27th November 2024 but not before she had captured the hearts of many, leaving us the gift of her photography and her desire to make a difference in the world.
