In order to give you the perfect excuse this year to get into the wood and enjoy it in all its seasons, we are organising a photographic competition. The entrance criteria are simple:

• The photographs must be taken in Tottington Wood

• You do not have to be a member of the Woodlanders

• Age categories are 0-16 [Juniors] and 16+ [Seniors]

• You can submit up to 4 of your best images depicting the seasons in the wood.

• No digital doctoring

• The photograph(s) may have been taken at any time - not necessarily this year

• The images can be submitted as slide, print or electronic file

• Any subject and style are acceptable e.g. wildlife: plants, insects, mammals, fish, birds etc.; woodland activities: coppicing, ditch-digging, charcoal burning, walking, wassailing etc.; abstract textures/colours: tree bark, leaves, water etc. Creativity encouraged! (Depending on the number and diversity of entries, photographs will be judged under various subject categories).

• You can't be one of the judges. (You know who you are!)

• Finally, although you don't need to be reminded, please do not harm the wood in the process!

You can obtain the postal address to mail entries to by contacting Ian Betts on the
Contact Us page. You can also send Ian an attached image file by email.
Dont forget to give us your name and age category.

Entries will be displayed on this site in a 'Woodland Gallery' and the winners will be announced at next year's AGM in May. If we receive sufficient entries, a calendar will be made to raise funds for the wood.

Please feel encouraged to get snapping and submitting the results right away!

We look forward to seeing what you can discover!
