 | Enjoywarwickshire.com Photo Competition 2008 |
|
The Enjoywarwickshire.com Photo Galleries contain a fantastic number of images that give a great flavour of what sights can be seen in the county; from grand stately homes to picturesque waterways and canals. Many of the images have been sent in by members of the public and are infact so good that we're now laying down a challenge to all digital photographers to try and surpass what's already on show in the galleries. |
| | |
The Enjoywarwickshire.com Photo Competition 2008 is split into four categories with a prize being offered by local businesses for each winner - these include a family ticket to an attraction in the county of the winner's choice, photography equipment, framed prints, photography software and canvas art of winning photographs.
All the competition entries will be displayed in the Enjoywarwickshire.com Photo Galleries giving the chance for submitted photos to be admired by all. See below for links to each of the categories.
Photos simply need to have been taken in the county and must be tourism related. Images should promote and encourage visitors to the county (so please no home photos!). See our competition rules below for details. The closing date is the 30th September 2008. |
