Photo competition – Capture Life Along the River – £50 prize
A photo competition has been launched as part of the Tamar Valley River Festival on Saturday 26 October in Calstock.
Submit your photo
The Tamar Valley River Festival will feature art, live music, dance, food and a celebration of Tamar Valley heritage.
We are looking for photos that capture the beautiful Tamar Valley with the theme of ‘Life Along the River’. Your photo could incorporate wildlife, history, heritage, local people, nature for example. Feel free to get creative with your photography!
The River Tamar is an important part of the culture and natural landscape of Devon and Cornwall. For most of its length it forms the boundary between the two counties; it is home to a wealth of wildlife, has inspired numerous artists and writers and is the setting of legends.
Judging will be undertaken by a panel of judges who will decide on the winning design. The prize for the winning photograph is £50. On the day of the festival a shortlist of up to 30 photographs will be printed and then there will be another winner – the ‘People’s Choice’ – voted for by visitors. The prize for the winning People’s Choice photograph is also £50.
If you think you can come up with a great photograph, to enter just send your high resolution image (jpeg or other easily viewed format) of your work to bryony.james@cornwall.gov.uk. The closing date is midnight on 18th October 2024. Only one entry per person is permitted.
