Cameras at the ready for photographic competition

by Ethos public relations

Calling all amateur photographers in Hyndburn - time is running out to enter the Hyndburn Homes Photographic Competition.

Hyndburn Homes, one of the region's biggest social landlords, is looking for 12 photographs that represent the local area to be used in its 2010 calendar. You don't have to be Hyndburn Homes resident to enter - it's open to any budding photographer.

The Hyndburn Homes 2010 calendar is distributed to over 3,000 properties in Hyndburn. Each of the 12 winners will receive a professionally framed photograph of their entry and the overall winner will receive a state of the art digital camera.

Paula Shrigley from Hyndburn Homes said: "This year we produced our first calendar using company photographs and images. We decided that the calendar could be improved by using great images of local people and places - and who better to produce them than the local community

"The pictures must be digital and high quality and obviously reflect the local area - but apart from that more or less anything goes!"

Full terms and conditions about the Hyndburn Homes Calendar Photographic Competition are available at www.hyndburnhomes.co.uk. You can download an application form online or telephone 01254 300500. All entries must be received by 30 October at midday.
