This year we were pleased to join with the The Howardian Hills AONB Partnership to launch the 2022 Howardian Hills Photography Competition.

Now in its eighth year, the competition is a great opportunity for amateur photographers to get snapping and display their skills by submitting photographs of our beautiful Howardian Hills in the categories of landscape, flora and fauna, history and heritage and living and working in the AONB. There is also a special category for young photographers.

The winners of this year’s Howardian Hills Photography competition were announced at the Ryedale Show this week, where their entries were displayed in a special exhibition.
