Leitrim tourism invites residents to showcase the county's beauty in photography competition

Photography enthusiasts across Leitrim are being invited to showcase their favourite corners of the county as part of the 2026 Leitrim Photo Competition.

The competition, organised by Leitrim Tourism, is open to both professional photographers and those who enjoy taking photographs on their smartphones.

Entrants are being asked to submit a photo of their favourite place, walk or heritage site in County Leitrim, with the winning images in with a chance of featuring in the 2027 Leitrim Tourism Calendar.

There is also a €50 One4all voucher up for grabs for the overall winner.

Photos must be the entrant’s own work and must have been taken within County Leitrim.

Entries opened on Tuesday, September 15 and will remain open until Tuesday, October 6.

Following the closing date, an external judge will select up to 15 photographs from all the entries received.

The shortlisted images will then be published on the Leitrim Tourism Facebook and Instagram pages, where members of the public will have their say.

Voting will open on Tuesday, October 13 and close on Monday, November 2, with the photograph receiving the most likes across both social media platforms crowned the winner.

To enter, participants must be over 18 and follow Leitrim Tourism on both Facebook and Instagram.

Those who wish to enter the competition can then send their photograph, along with an explanation of why the location is their favourite place in Leitrim, by direct message on either platform.

There is no entry fee and only one entry will be accepted per person.

Leitrim Tourism is encouraging anyone with a favourite view, walking route or heritage spot in the county to get involved before entries close on October 6.
