Cameras at the ready! The Discover Ashfield photography competition is returning for spring 2021.
The competition, now in its third year, is open to everyone in the District, and offers the chance to win a £100 High Street voucher. So get those cameras ready and show what a great place Ashfield is to live and work. This year’s brief is to take a photograph which captures Ashfield’s Community Spirit. The pandemic has brought out the best of Ashfield’s residents and we want to celebrate that with the photography competition.
Once again, there are four categories in the competition, and each category represents a Discover Ashfield theme. To help inspire you to capture a photograph which reflects both community spirit and a Discover Ashfield theme, we have listed some examples below.
Be Happy, Be Healthy – This could be a photograph of a group participating in a socially-distanced exercise class in one of our fantastic parks, or a carer supporting an Ashfield resident.
Love Where You Live – This could be a photograph of a community organisation helping residents during the COVID-19 pandemic, or neighbours meeting up for a socially-distanced walk in one of Ashfield’s parks.
More to Discover – This could be a photograph of a pub in Ashfield serving takeaway meals, or people admiring a local landmark.
Succeed in Ashfield – This could be a photograph of a local business delivering items to customers front doors, or colleagues working together in a work place.
Love Where You Live Theme Lead, Liz Barrett said: ‘There were some fantastic photographs entered into last year’s competition and I was thrilled to be on the judging panel. We are all so proud of how Ashfield has pulled together to get through this pandemic. With Ashfield’s talented photographers capturing the community spirit that we have in abundance in our District, this really will be a picture-perfect combination.’
