This site is undergoing maintenance in readiness for
The 79th Bristol International Salon of Photography

Some pages might not be visible or accessible during this time. 

The 80th Bristol International Salon of Photography

The number of International Salons offering print sections sadly continues to reduce.  At Bristol we believe that providing support for the print media is an important aspect of photography, and in 2026 we once again continued with 3 print sections in addition to the 3 digital sections.

The 2026 Bristol International Salon of Photography is now complete, all catalogues, awards and returned prints have been sent.  The results pages show all awarded and accepted images, and a digital version of the catalogue is available to view and/or download in both pdf and flip-book versions.

We thank you for your support in 2026 and hope we will once again be able to enjoy your images in 2027
