The annual Discover Ashfield Photography Competition is about to launch.

In our sixth year, we are inviting residents to get creative with your cameras in Ashfield and enter the three categories:

  • Made in Ashfield – capture a product or a group that has been made in Ashfield. This category is open to creative thoughts of what you see as brilliant and made on our doorsteps.
  • Active Ashfield – this can be walking, wheeling, gardening, sport or anything else that gets you moving. We want to see Ashfield being active.
  • Under 16s – a category solely for the young people of the district and what you see out and about.

Each category winner will receive a £50 gift card and a £50 voucher to spend at our local Leisure Centres.

Open to entries from Monday 22nd July.

Entries must be submitted by midnight on Sunday 15th September.

Some Top Tips!

  1. Weather – if you’re outdoors, sometimes sunny days aren’t the only time you can take photos. A cloudy sky can be an alternative backdrop.
  2. Layers – can you use people or objects close and far away to show the depth of a photo?
