Lake District Guide: Annual Photography Competition
The Lake District Guide, a popular online guide for visitors to the English Lakes, has launched its 2010 photographic competition.
This is the fifth annual competition run by the guide, and with £1000 of prize money available for the winners, it's rapidly becoming one of the country's most prestigious opportunities for both amateur and professional photographers to showcase their talents.
The competition aims to attract entries featuring every aspect of Lakeland life - not just the delightful landscape scenes so beloved of every visitor since the Lakes Poets brought the area to wider attention at the end of the nineteenth century.
And so the judges especially welcome entries which show how local residents run their lives alongside the year-round influx of tourists, but they emphasize that all images, including landscapes, have an equal chance of taking a prize.
The closing date for the competition, which is open to digital images submitted by email, is November 30 2010. There's an entry fee of £1 per image, and previous years' shortlists and winners can be seen, together with the full terms and conditions, at http://www.lake-district-guides.co.uk.
