#flickr #competition all competition - Flickr Forest Photo Contest

Calling all budding photographers, the Forestry Commission is looking for entries in to a photographic competition based around Haldon Forest Park near Exeter.

Entitled ‘Fun in the Forest’ the competition opens on Saturday 31 March 2012 and entries need to be photographs of people out and about and having fun at Haldon Forest Park. This could include images of people walking, cycling, swinging through the trees on Go Ape, riding through the forest on a Segway, or simply sitting and relaxing with a picnic or a flask of tea. All entries need to be made via this page or by email to gemma.ingall@forestry.gsi.gov.uk by 5pm on Monday 10 September 2012.

There are two age group categories, one for over 16s and one for under. The photos will be judged by independent photographer Adrian Oakes. Adrian will be looking for shots that really demonstrate what Haldon means to different people and pictures that show people enjoying the forest environment.

Adrian is a professional landscape and contemporary photographer based in Exmouth, Devon where he lives with his family. He has kindled a great love and respect for Devon over the last twenty five years since relocating to the county in 1987 and more recently has focused on photographing its diverse landscapes and rich history.

The overall winner in the over 16s category will win a one-to-one workshop with Adrian at Haldon Forest Park as well as a copy of their winning image on superb canvas and a Haldon Forest Park Discovery Pass. The under 16s Winner will receive a large Canvas and Discovery Pass.

Two runners up in each category will also receive either a canvas or large mounted print of their image and a Discovery Pass. People can sign up to hear more about the Forestry Commission at www.forestry.gov.uk/moreinfo
