Breaking Glass Magazine – November 2026

music, photography and more…

Time to turn the heating on, curl up on the sofa, and start choosing your favourite photos of 2026. As always, we’re running our year end galleries in December – guidelines and previous galleries for inspiration below, look forward to seeing your submissions!

Best Music Shots of the Year galleries

Year Through the Lens galleries

Category A : Live Music – your shot(s) must be of an artist or band performing live in 2026 – if you have music related shots that are portraits/BTS, etc, these can be sent in to category B if you wish.

Category B : General – any subject matter and style taken in 2026 can be included – people and/or animal portraits, landscapes, street photography, events, wildlife photography, cityscapes, etc. Please ensure that your shots do not contain anything generally regarded as offensive or prohibited on social media and that you have permission for any shots featuring recognisable minors.

Both categories: You can send in 1 or 2 shots per category (i.e. max would be 2 live music shots and 2 general shots but 1 for each or just submitting to 1 category is also fine). Colour, black and white, portrait, landscape, square are all fine – jpg files please max 1MB per image. You can choose to include a watermark or not; all we ask is that, if you do, please try to keep it fairly subtle. It doesn’t matter if you’re professional, amateur or just take photos here and there for the fun of it – as long as it’s a clear shot that will cope with being enlarged on screen. It’s not a competition; we just want to highlight your work in a space where everyone is welcome to join in.

All you need to do is email your chosen shot(s) with the subject as Best of 2026 to breakingglassmag@gmail.com by the closing date Friday 4th December 2026 with the following details:
– Name of artist (music) or title of shot (general)
– Venue / location for music shots
– Month taken (must be a photo you have taken in 2026)
– Name to be credited
– Links to your work (website / social media, etc)
– Max of 2 photos per category

By submitting you give us permission to include your shot(s) in an online feature and use to promote this and related posts on the website and social media. All images remain under your ownership and copyright and this will be stated in the feature with clear details of who the photographer is for each shot. Breaking Glass is not a for profit publication; it is free to submit and no payment is made for submissions. Galleries will be published during December 2026.
