Capturing our Countryside: A Rural View
To celebrate Gloucestershire’s countryside, we are delighted to launch our Photography Competition for 2024! We are looking for photographs that highlight the natural beauty and diversity of our treasured landscapes.
It’s up to you how you interpret our theme, “A Rural View;” your photo could show farmland, wildlife, close-up images of the beauty in nature or perhaps people enjoying or working in the countryside.
There are two categories for entry:

- Over-18s – for the more experienced photographer
Competition entry is free and you may enter up to 3 photographs. Each category has a cash prize of £100 to the winner.
