The competition is a great way to get children involved in photography at a young age. It is free to enter and there are lots of great prizes to be won. The age categories are 6-9 yrs and 9-12 yrs.

The closing date for entries is the 31st of December so there is lots of time for the children to enter.

For more information, please check out our photography competition webpage. Please download the poster which is available on at the link above and pass it around your staff room or place it on your schools notice board.
