The Leamington in Bloom Group, in partnership with Leamington Spa Town Council, has officially launched its annual 'In Bloom' photography competition.

The theme for 2025 is 'Where I Walk', which could be that beautiful green space on your way to work, or the nesting swans on your favourite Sunday Walk, so long as the location is within the town's boundaries.

Entries are welcome from keen photographers of all ages and standards.

Pictures from Jephson Gardens and the town's other popular, beautiful green spaces are welcomed, however, photographs of lesser-known locations would also be appreciated. 

Pictures taken using AI technology are not permitted for this competition.

The photographer whose image is chosen as the overall winner will receive £50. 

The second and third place runners-up will win £35 and £20 respectively and all three winning shots will feature in the 2026 Leamington in Bloom calendar. 

The winners will be invited to a Leamington in Bloom celebration event, hosted by the mayor, later this year.

 A further eleven highly commended shots will also get a place in next year's calendar.

Last year's winner was Steve Blake with the beautiful Sleeping Ladybird.

The closing date for entries is Friday, 29 August 2025. 

Entry forms can be obtained by emailing Kay Sheriston, Deputy Town Clerk, at [email protected] or by calling 01926 450906.
