Get in the frame for £1,000

Get in the frame to win share of a £1,000 prize in Belfast City Council`s fourth annual Parks Photographic Competition.

The competition entitled ParkLife has been given a facelift for 2011 and three brand new categories have been created. The categories are: People and events; Focus on nature; Built heritage.

Prize money, sponsored by Bloomingdale Nurseries, will be awarded for the best photographs in each category and in addition there will be award for the best photos submitted by under 16 year olds.

Organiser, Alice Blennerhassett, said: “Hundreds of thousands of people use our parks each year and Parklife provides them with a chance to show us what they enjoy most about them.

“It is also a way to encourage park users and visitors to take a closer look around them and see what might be interesting for others to see or notice.

“We have had some wonderful photos in past competitions, and although they are all taken by amateurs, some on mobile phones, the standard has been so high we have sought the advice of professional photographers to choose the winners.”
