Guidance
Each month, the competition will have a new theme. The themes are relatively broad and creative interpretation is encouraged.
Notwithstanding the above, entries must meet the brief of the month’s theme. For instance, a theme of Autumn might encompass Autumnal leaves or Halloween, but it would not include Easter eggs or Spring buds.
Excessive enhancements to formatting are discouraged. We want to recognise an eye for composition, not skill with editing software.
Eligibility Criteria
- This competition is open to residents of Burton and Nettleton, Wiltshire only.
- Photos are to be of locations within a three-mile radius of St Mary the Virgin church, Church Hill, Burton.
