About this event
This October, all are welcome to experience the stunning photographs taken by our nine finalists of the Exeter Cathedral Photography Competition 2026.
Throughout August, photographers of all ages and abilities were invited to step inside Exeter Cathedral and capture the beauty of its interior for the chance to win over £200 in prizes and an exhibition feature. The competition welcomed colour photographs, black and white photographs, and photographs taken by budding creatives aged 11-18. Individuals travelled from all over England to take part and find one of three winning photographs. On the judging panel is Emma Solley – acclaimed Devon-based photographer, The Very Revd Stephen Waine – The Dean of Exeter, and Jacob Hilton – Marketing Manager at Exeter Cathedral.
This competition has been generously supported by: London Camera Exchange (Exeter Store), Exeter College, The Guildhall Shopping Centre, Hotel Indigo Exeter, InExeter, Princesshay Exeter, John Lewis
