LAST CALL FOR NORTH WEST PHOTO ENTRIES!

LIFE THROUGH THE LENS PHOTOGRAPHY COMPETITION

CLOSING DATE: 30^th SEPTEMBER 2012

 

FINAL CHANCE TO SUBMIT YOUR SUMMER SNAPS & WIN A HOLIDAY!

As the closing date to the North West’s largest photography competition approaches, now’s the time to submit the snaps you’ve taken during our Great British summer of celebration.

 

We’ve had the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee, the Euros, the Olympic Torch Relay, London 2012 and the Paralympics – but the Life Through The Lens competition aims to find out what’s inspired you this summer?

 

Competition organisers at the Year of Health and Wellbeing North West have received lots of entries but need more images and more members of the public to vote on the entrants via the website.  So, whether you’re a first-time snapper or a seasoned pro – it’s not all about top quality photography skills, but about what your shot means to you – and what viewers of the online public gallery think.

 

Upload your photos to the website at http://photos.yearofhealthandwellbeing.org.uk/   and tell us if this summer has inspired you to change your lifestyle or think about your health and wellbeing in a different light?

Entries by midnight on the 30^th September 2012 will be judged by a panel of top UK photographers.  Prizes for the best individual entry include a £1,000 family holiday and a hot-air balloon experience.  Schools and camera clubs may enter up to 20 photographs with a prize of £500 of photography equipment vouchers up for grabs.

A ‘People’s Choice Award’ will also be awarded - to those images which have received the most acclaim from the public on the web gallery.

 The Life Through The Lens competition, created by the North West Year of Health and Wellbeing, has been encouraging people all summer to get out and about and give the ‘Five Ways to Wellbeing’ a go.  Just by building five simple actions into your everyday life – Give, Connect, Take Notice, Be Active and Keep Learning - you can live longer, feel healthier and be happier.
