How to exhibit Botanical Photography at an RHS Show
​

The Photographic Advisory Panel selects and judges the Exhibition of Photography at the RHS Shows. 

Photography has always been exhibited at the London Shades of Autumn Show.

• In 2017, it's changed to being an exhibit at the Chelsea Flower Show
• ​In 2018, it will combine with Botanical Art for a Joint Show (Plant and Art fair 10-12 July 2018 RHS L:awrence Hall)

Exhibition of Photography: Regulations and Guidance
​

​Photographers must have a submission of work passed by the Photographic Advisory Panel before they may apply for space to exhibit and be judged for an RHS Photography Medal.

The RHS website provides information for photographers.  See:

• Guidelines for Botanical Photo Exhibitors
• Regulations for Botanical Art Exhibitors

A very high standard of work is sought and met at the exhibition of photography. Exhibits must comprise a minimum of eight photographs presented on an horticultural theme.
