UKClimbing and UKHillwalking are proud to announce the category finalists for the 2023 The North Face & Ellis Brigham Photography Awards.
Each of the photographs on the shortlist have been selected based on user voting throughout 2023. However, now that they are through to the finals the original votes have been wiped clean and it is up to you - and your votes - which goes on to win its respective category. Voting for Category Winners is open until 15th March.
Overall Winners - 1st, 2nd and 3rd place - will be selected by our judge Dave Parry.
Dave is a Sheffield based photographer, author and writer.
His book, Grit Blocs, outlines 100 of the finest boulder problems on Pennine Gritstone and is an absolute must for any UK based boulderer. He also publishes a fantastic weekly newsletter in the form of Pennine Lines.
I would undoubtedly vote nearly everything in this stunning collection a 5. But if we are to separate from the excellent to the absolutely outstanding, then that requires me to rate these individual photos somewhere between 1 & 5. But congratulations to all the photographers first, and thanks for submitting their work for us to view and oggle at on UKC!
I agree, I couldn´t bring myself to give any of these amazing photos a 4. So I made it easy for myself and just gave one single photo in each category a 5.
Mostly, but I'm finding the ghost figure in the Aurora photo a little bit weird and distracting. (I'm sure others will find the whole photo a bit 'artificial', but that's another debate...).

Good luck to all you brilliant photographers!
Bangers. All of them.

My god, Dave Parry has got a difficult job here!
