Summer photography competition: All your best entries from week one

SummerPix2018: Seize the moment – and capture it – and you could win a Panasonic Lumix GX800 Mirrorless camera in our Summer Pix 18 competition in association with Harvey Norman

The SummerPix2018 photography competition has only been running for a week and we’ve already had hundreds of entries. You’ve sent stunning sunsets, hilarious moments involving children and dogs and any number of stunning shots of people jumping into water. It’s been a difficult task to whittle them down, but our photo editors have selected the best of the first week’s entries which are below.

How to enter

To upload your high-resolution images check out the form below.

The prize is a Panasonic Lumix GX800 mirrorless camera, courtesy of Harvey Norman. Each Tuesday we will display the best photos of the week, and on August 21st, we'll print the winning photograph in The Irish Times. Photos must be taken in summer 2018 and can be taken with any kind of camera or smartphone.

We cannot respond to each entry, but we will be in touch if your photograph is going to be published.

Competition closes on Tuesday, August 14th. The winning photograph will be published on Tuesday, August 21st.
