Three lucky amateur photographers will get the opportunity to join the festival’s official photographer, Dave Archer, on Saturday 5 July 2025 for an unforgettable day of capturing vibrant performances at this year’s event.
The three winners will gain invaluable experience working alongside an industry professional who has captured high-profile events from Glastonbury Festival to Formula 1.
Winners will each have a slot and be mentored and taught how to take live event images to the next level on a one-to-one basis.
This once-in-a-lifetime opportunity also includes two x weekend tickets per winner to enjoy the rest of the festival.
While there are three winners in total, one of the three will be named as the overall winner.
We look forward to the winners joining our team on the day!
