Mark national pothole day with our photo competition
To mark National Pothole Day on 15 January, we’re inviting you to take part in a photo competition highlighting some of the UK’s worst potholes. Whether they’re shockingly large or inspire a bit of creative humour.
We’ll be awarding two prizes, and the winning photos will be shared across our social media channels on National Pothole Day.
How to enter
Find a pothole
Spot a pothole in your local area, from an impressively huge crater to one crying out for a comic twist.
Choose your category
You can enter one (or both) of the following:
-
Largest pothole
The biggest, deepest, most eye-watering pothole you can find.
-
Funniest pothole photo
A creative and funny photo featuring a pothole. Think along the lines of Lego road workers, toy cranes, tiny warning signs or other funny props that make the pothole look even more dramatic, all without altering it.
Take a photo and submit it
Capture your pothole clearly and send us your entry.
Deadline for submissions is 12pm Wednesday 14th January
Photos must be your own and must not involve anything permanent being done to the pothole.
Stay safe
If you’re taking photos on or near roads, please be extra cautious. Watch out for traffic and never put yourself in danger to get a shot.
Prizes
We’ll be selecting two winners, one from each category. Each winner will receive:
£50 Evans Cycles eVoucher
Ideal for cycling gear, accessories, or everyday essentials.
What happens next?
Our team will review all entries and select:
- The largest pothole
- The funniest pothole photo
The winning entries will be announced and shared across our social media channels on 15 January, National Pothole Day.
Winners will be notified by email, if a winner doesn’t respond in seven days then the charity reserves the right to offer prize to someone else, prizes are not exchangeable for cash.
Tip: Clear, well-framed photos that show off the scale or the humour of your pothole are more likely to catch our eye!
Fill That Hole
Potholes are a major danger to cyclists throughout the UK. Cycling UK helps get potholes fixed via Fill That Hole, a website which allows users to easily report road defects to the relevant highway authority.
The updated Fill That Hole tool was made possible by funding and support from law firm Fletchers Cycle SOS.
