Capture the Cathedral is now open!

The Capture the Cathedral photography competition has now closed.

The winners will be announced at the launch of the Capture the Cathedral exhibition on Friday 20 July at 6.30pm. All welcome.

The Capture the Cathedral photography competition is now in its sixth year. The competition has produced some absolutely stunning images of one of the oldest buildings in Manchester. It is open to absolutely everyone; whether or not you fancy yourself as the next David Bailey, are studying photography at school or college or just happen to be visiting.

Photographers of all ages, backgrounds and experience levels are invited to ‘Capture the Cathedral’, with all its nooks and crannies, in different and imaginative ways.

The categories in the photography competition are:
• Architecture and Stained Glass
• The Cathedral at Night
• Something Different

This photograph can be of anything inside or outside the Cathedral. We are looking for a photograph that is unusual for whatever reason.

A winner will be chosen in each category. The judging panel will also select an overall winner who will be ‘The Official Photographer for Manchester Cathedral 2018’ and will be invited to photograph events at the Cathedral throughout the year.

The prize for the overall winner includes the title of Cathedral Photographer of the Year, inclusion in the Capture the Cathedral Exhibition and a prize of £100.
