Wildscapes photgraphy competition

Be inspired by the natural world and capture a landscape or wildlife image for a prize winning photography competition. Leicestershire County Council’s Historic and Natural Environment Team is inviting entries on the themes of wildlife and landscapes in Leicestershire and Rutland. Photos could be a regular visitor to your garden or local park, or a picture of your favourite scene at dawn or dusk.
There are four age categories with prizes for the first and second winners of each category. Under 11 years old, 11-14 years old and 15-19 years old can win £50 and £25 HMV vouchers while those aged 20 and over can win £50 and £25 of Jessop’s vouchers. Entries can be sent by email, post or dropped off at local libraries.
The competition is one of the events in the Discover like Darwin programme activities to celebrate the 200th anniversary of the birth of Charles Darwin and the Find your Talent cultural and creative programme for young people.
Photographs will be displayed on the County Council web site and in local publications and displays.
The closing date for entries is 31st October 2009.
