The competition by Cartridge Save will see the winner crowned by a panel of judges following a public vote.

Ian Cowley, managing director of the firm, said: “We have a responsibility to future generations to document these changes for posterity. I’m really looking forward to what our hunt produces.”

It will be split into three categories: under 18s, 18-50, and over 50s. Up to 25 photos will be shortlisted.

These entries will then be made available for public vote, which will account for 25 per cent of the final judging.

The panel will then make their final decision, selecting a winner of each category as well as an overall winner who takes the cash prize.

Entries can be submitted through here and the closing date is July 10.
