Photographic Competition

Each year the The British Orchid Council holds a photography competition for all affiliated UK orchid societies and each society can enter up to 10 photographs from their member submissions.

Here you can view all the Scottish Orchid Society photographs for the first round of voting from which 10 will be chosen to go forward to the final stage of the competition. They have been taken by a variety of means including smart phones, digital cameras and film.

All of our members will be invited to vote for their favourites ahead of the first round deadline on the 31st December 2024.

To view the gallery, please click on an image and you will then be able to scroll through the album. It is worth viewing the photographs on a large screen, if you are able, to appreciate the detail in the images. For information on the orchid, if not displayed, please click on the (i) button on the gallery controls, and to display the original image click on the ‘open image in original size’ button at the lower right side.
