Love your community?

Enter our new photography competition where you could win a £50 Love2Shop shopping voucher!

We know that the stories, moments and experiences you have are what makes your community special. We want to celebrate that by inviting you to take part in our ‘Love your community’ photo competition. If you enjoy taking photos, why not capture the people and places in your neighbourhood that mean something to you? It could be the people around you that inspire you, or the places that you feel the most welcome, comfortable and happy. Tell us your unique story through your own photos!

The competition will run until the end of 2024, and every three months we’ll award a £50 Love2 Shop shopping voucher to the person who sends in the best photo of their community. A panel of Engaged Customers and our Customer Communications team will judge the entries and we’ll feature the winning photos in upcoming editions of Orbit Life magazine and here on our Customer Hub website.

Top tips for taking great photos

To help you get that winning shot, here are a few top tips:

  • ALWAYS get permission from your subject(s) to take their photo
  • Get a mixture of both posed and natural shots. Don’t be afraid to ask people to smile and look at the camera. You can also take more natural shots of people doing an activity or working on a project, including arts and crafts and playing games
  • When taking photos of people, be sure to take plenty of shots so you can select the best ones
  • If you’re outdoors and it’s possible, choose a sunny day as pictures look better in sunshine and natural light. If you’re indoors, make sure you have lots of light so that your subject can be seen
  • You can easily zoom in on your subject with your phone or camera, although it reduces the quality of your photo. Use your feet instead by getting physically closer to your subject
  • The most important thing: Have fun!
