End of Year Showcase Exhibition
Join us for the We Are Photo End of Year Showcase 2026, a celebration of photography, creativity and our incredible community.
https://www.wearephotogroup.com/2026-end-of-year-showcase
Taking place on Sunday 29th November from 11am–2pm in The Link, Harlow, our End of Year Showcase brings together photographers of all abilities to celebrate another amazing year of We Are Photo.
At the heart of the event will be our photography exhibition, featuring images submitted by members of our community. This isn't about having the best camera, the most experience or being a professional photographer. It's about sharing the images you're proud of and celebrating our collective love of photography.
Throughout the event you'll be able to explore the exhibition, meet other photographers and creatives, take part in activities, enjoy refreshments and look back at some of our favourite moments from the past year.
We'll also be holding our People's Choice Award, giving attendees the chance to vote for their favourite image in the exhibition.
You don't have to enter a photograph to attend.
If you'd simply like to come along, enjoy the exhibition and support We Are Photo, we have £10 supporter tickets available. These include everything at the event except a print entry into the exhibition.
Whether you've been with us since the beginning, recently discovered We Are Photo or simply love photography and want to meet more like-minded people, we'd love to welcome you.
ABOUT WE ARE PHOTO
We Are Photo is an inclusive photography community bringing together more than 2,000 photographers from Essex, Hertfordshire and beyond.
We host free photography meet-ups, creative challenges, workshops and events throughout the year, all with the aim of helping people enjoy photography, develop their creativity and make genuine connections with others who share their passion.
This year, We Are Photo was also nominated in the Heritage & Culture category at the Harlow Awards, something we're incredibly proud of as a local community.
