It is LARP Awards season. At least here in the UK, it is. Also when I say season I do mean the UK Larp Awards associated with Larpcon. These awards have been running now since 2011 – which is quite an achievement and I hope they continue for quite a while as each year we get a fascinating insight into what is going on in UK Larp. The award ceremony itself is on March 3rd 2019. So these are the nominations. Let’s see who is in the running this year.

Larp Photography

There are awards for LARP Photography.  In fact, there are two. These are handled by Facebook groups Clicking on this link will take you to the UK Larp Awards for Photography. This year there is a new category for Advanced Photography. I think this is very fitting when we look at the year on year development of this art. Again the information is in a Facebook group

Good Luck to all the Nominees
