Nottinghamshire in 2022 is being led by the county council and Lord-Lieutenant Sir John Peace, who are encouraging residents to get out their cameras to showcase why our county is a great place to live, work and visit.
Photographers of all abilities can enter the competition, which has two categories, under 18s and over 18s.
The special competition will also provide a unique opportunity for people to capture life through a lens in the county during the extended Bank Holiday weekend from Thursday, June 2, to Sunday, June 5, as well as milestone dates such as Nottinghamshire Day on August 25 , and the return of the Tour of Britain cycle race on September 8.
Would a picture of Lord Byron’s ancestral home at Newstead Abbey be the thing to win this competition?
Sir John, who will form part of the judging panel, said: “The competition presents a wonderful opportunity for us to celebrate our great county pictorially and all it has to offer – and what better way to do this than during the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee year .
“Nottinghamshire is blessed with historic attractions and places to visit which len themselves perfectly to be captured on camera, but your submission doesn’t have to be a building or landmark.
“Perhaps there’s a favorite spot in the county which holds a special memory for you, whether it be a hidden gem, a view or somewhere you go for a walk or bike ride?”
Entries should be sent to [email protected] and must include the photographer’s name, the category they are entering (adults or under 18s), a contact email address and phone number (of a parent or guardian if under 16), the name of place/subject where the photo was taken.
