The Annual East Kent Coast Awards Exhibition 2026 showcases the natural beauty and wildlife of our coastline through photography, while also highlighting the impact that humans have upon these environments and encouraging visitors to learn how they can help protect them.
All photographs on display have been taken by local members of the public. The exhibition features the winning images from each category, along with runners up and a selection of highly commended entries. The photographs are judged on their overall impact; images taken on mobile phones have won awards in previous years.
The competition categories are:
• Coastal Wildlife
• Coastal Landscape
• Daring Dozen
• Human Impact
• Savvy Sea Dog
• Under 18s
The exhibition celebrates the talent of local photographers and demonstrates that powerful and meaningful images can be captured by anyone, regardless of the equipment they use.
