After storming onto the scene in 2024 with jaw-dropping shots and a bit of national press fanfare (we know, we know… modesty is overrated), the Amateur Motorsport Photography Awards™ are back for 2025! We're here to celebrate the raw, unfiltered talent of UK-based amateur motorsport photographers. If you’re a pro, this isn’t your scene - unless you’re cool with the ‘amateur’ badge?
Whether you live at the race track or just sneak in on the occasional weekend with your camera, this is your golden ticket to show off the heart-pounding, hair-raising, "did-that-just-happen?" moments that make British motorsport unforgettable. We want photos that scream stories - on-track chaos, pit lane pandemonium, secret paddock shenanigans, or the relentless devotion of the teams. Basically, if it’s epic, emotional, or makes us go “wow,” we want it.
Our panel of photography pros and motorsport insiders will be judging entries on creativity, composition, technical skill, and most importantly, your uncanny ability to capture the very soul of motor racing.
So, come and join us in putting the spotlight on the brilliant, passionate, slightly obsessive world of UK amateur motorsport photography. Your moment to shine (literally and figuratively) is here.
Make sure you join the mailing list below to keep up to date with all the latest news and updates. Sign up before the 31st October and receive an exclusive mailing list offer.

CATEGORIES FOR 2025:
-
This category is all about the thrill, speed, and chaos of motorsport happening right on the track - anywhere in the UK.
Whether it’s a practice lap, qualifying session, or the main race itself, we want shots that make us feel the adrenaline.
From Formula 1 to British Touring Cars, British GT, MotoGP, BSB, and everything in between—you can submit images from any event during the 2024 or 2025 seasons. Basically, if it’s fast, furious, and on track, it belongs here.
-
This is your chance to show the humans behind the helmets and the chaos - the drivers, team crews, spectators, and anyone else making motorsport happen in the UK.
From pit lane drama to behind-the-scenes shenanigans, if it captures the personalities and passion of the sport, we want to see it.
Events from 2024 or 2025 only though - whether it’s Formula 1, British Touring Cars, British GT, MotoGP, BSB, or anything in between. Basically, if it’s people making motorsport magic happen, snap it and submit it!
-
Step behind the barriers and show us the heartbeat of motorsport - the pit lane chaos, team garages in full swing, and the paddock buzz that makes every event come alive. If it captures the vibe, we want it.
Shots from 2024 or 2025 count, from Formula 1 to British Touring Cars, British GT, MotoGP, BSB, and everything in between.
-
New for 2025 - this category zooms in on the little things that make motorsport a visual feast. We’re talking intricate engineering, bold liveries, gritty textures, shiny tools, and the gear that keeps it all moving.
Think creative close-ups that prove beauty isn’t just about speed, it’s in the craftsmanship, design, and behind-the-scenes details we often miss while gawking at the track action.
Eligible images can be from any UK motorsport event in 2024 or 2025 - Formula 1, British Touring Cars, British GT, MotoGP, BSB, and everything else that turns nuts, bolts, and paint jobs into pure art.
