Capture all things bright, beautiful, great and small in new photography competition
Photography enthusiasts and those with a keen eye for nature are encouraged to take part in Warwick District Council’s new biodiversity photography competition, for the chance to win a £100 voucher.
The competition runs for 8 weeks from Friday 12 July to Sunday 8 September 2024, which includes the school summer holidays. There are two categories: one for those aged 17 and under, and those aged 18+. One winner from each category will receive a £100 One4all high street voucher.
Whether you are a seasoned photographer or simply enjoy snapping pictures on your phone whilst out and about in Warwick District, we welcome you to submit your best shot that captures the theme of 'bright, beautiful, great and small’.
Some examples could include:
- Flower rich grasslands
- Woodlands and parks
- Birds, reptiles, amphibians, mammals, and insects
- Hedgerows
- Rivers, wetlands, and ponds
Councillor Will Roberts, Portfolio Holder for Neighbourhood and Green Spaces said: “This is a fantastic opportunity to get outdoors in the summer holidays and explore the wonders of nature and biodiversity, whether in our award-winning parks and open spaces, or even your own back garden.
“The recent adoption of our Biodiversity Action Programme affirms our commitment to ensuring that Warwick District is rich in nature, delivering multiple benefits for wildlife and people. If you’re looking for inspiration, then our “target habitats and species” factsheets provide plenty of information about the many wonders to look out for, and information on where to find them.
“I look forward to seeing the variety of images and am sure it will be another tough selection process for our judging panel following last year’s competition.”
