Photo Competition: Capture the Wild Side of Long Leys And Win £20

Calling budding photographers in Long Leys, of all ages. We are proud of our local wildlife and green spaces. To celebrate these and the arrival of spring, LLRA is running a photo competition open to all Long Leys residents. The under 12 age category is also open to children resident in the West End and any child who attends St Faith and St Martin Juniors, St Faith’s Infant School, St Peter in Eastgate Infant School or Westgate Academy.

Simply take a photograph which you feel best reflects the “green look and feel” of Long Leys or West Common. It could be a special bird in your garden, a mini beast in its lair, or a landscape that captures your imagination.

The photograph can be taken on any device (camera, phone, tablet) and there are prizes of £20 Tesco vouchers, for the best photograph from each of:

• Under 12’s
• Under 18’s
• Adults

The competition will be judged by two professional photographers, Paul Massey and Steve Smailes and the winning pictures will also be displayed on the long-leys.org website and social media. Entries must be received no later than Monday 10 May 2021.
