Event
Lake District Photography Competition
We're looking for digital photos which capture the essence of the Lake District and the people living there: not necessarily the obvious beauty spots or tourist attractions, though these are very welcome, but images which capture the daily life of the Lakes in all its flavour and variety. Try and go beyond the obvious, and come up with images which add an unusual twist to our view of life in the Lakes. For example, shots of the farmers at work, or the routine of life beyond the tourist hotspots.
Amateur and professional photographers alike can submit as many images as they want, and all images have an equal chance of winning one of the two £500 prizes. The prizes will be awarded to the entrants who, in the opinion of the judges, have best summed up the essence of Lake District life.
You can see previous years' winners on the website. There is an entry fee of £1 per photograph, payable by PayPal. Closing date is June 30 2011, but we encourage early entries to the competition.
Copyright remains with the photographer, but we are always open to the possibility of using entries in other contexts such as greetings cards or calendars, and we would negotiate a royalty if this was of interest to you.
OK, that's about it, but we'd love to see your entries as soon as possible! See full details at www.lake-district-guides.co.uk - and good luck!
