RCM Summer Snaps

Our summer photo competition returns! RCM Summer Snaps is open to all RCM students, alumni and new students joining us in September. Enter for your chance to win £200 of music vouchers of your choice.

We’d love to see how you are making music this summer whether that is private practice, an ensemble rehearsal, a performance, a competition or music making in your local community. Music has the power to change the way we see the world and as venues start to open up across the globe, we hope you will enjoy watching and taking part in performances and continue championing music in any way you can. Wherever you are and however you’re making music we’re really keen to share your news and promote our global community of musicians.

Send us your most exciting images, which could be anything from you and your instrument next to a landmark, you in your practice or performance space or out in your community. The best photograph we receive will be named the winner of RCM Summer Snaps 2021 and win £200 of music vouchers of your choice.
