A photography competition aiming to capture the "wonders" of Warwickshire's waterways has been announced by the county council.

Warwickshire County Council said its 'Warwickshire waterways photography competition' is a "fantastic opportunity" to showcase Warwickshire's waterways while "enjoying the many benefits" of spending time outdoors.

Launched yesterday (March 27), the competition will last for a month.

Submissions are welcome from people of all ages, including experienced photographers and those who simply enjoy snapping pictures on their phones while out and about.

Participants are invited to capture the theme of 'nature and wildlife' in their best shots of Warwickshire's canals and rivers.

There are two age groups, one for those over 16 and one for those age 15 and under, and the winners from each will receive a £50 voucher for photography equipment from the Canal and River Trust.

Winning images will also be featured on the council's website and social media channels.

The competition is part of the Warwickshire Waterways Strategy 2021 - 2026, which aims to promote and protect the county's waterways.

Rob Powell, strategic director for resources at WCC, said, "We're thrilled to launch this exciting photography competition, which celebrates the stunning wildlife, scenery and natural beauty of Warwickshire's waterways.

"We encourage everyone to take part in this opportunity to enjoy and showcase all our waterways have to offer.

"Good luck to all participants, and we can't wait to see your pictures!"

Full details of the competition, including how to enter, can be found here.
