Your River Lea 2025-26 Photography Competition - Submit your Entry!

The River connects us all & we want to see what the River Lea means to you. Submit your photo with a chance to be selected for our 2026 Calendar and Exhibition. 

We are looking for entries that celebrate the everyday, often overlooked, and yet extraordinary life, culture and industry of the River Lea.

There are lots of opportunities for photography alongside our river and on our site, such as:

• Iconic art and sculptures that run along London’s public art walk ‘The Line’
• The ancient reedbeds that sit just outside our site 
• The 957 (and counting) species of plants, insects and animals on our site alone 
• The incredible industrial landscape that meets the River, old and new
• Winner of the bridge awards in 2023 – ‘The Rolling Bridge’ 

And so much more to discover with your lens
