A PHOTOGRAPHY competition has been launched to celebrate Bowland as a newly named 'National Landscape' in its 60th anniversary year.
The Forest of Bowland photo competition – Life through a Lens - is an opportunity for photographers to show their skills in capturing the essence of the area.
There are three categories, people, nature, and place with winners receiving prizes, including a meal for two at the Traddock, Austwick; and also seeing their work in various publications and online platforms associated with the Forest of Bowland.
Tony Lund, Forest of Bowland National Landscape Partnership Manager said, "Our national name change in November 2023 highlighted that the Forest of Bowland is one part of a living patchwork of landscapes where outstanding beauty isn't only found in nature, but in our thriving local communities".
Deadline for entries is September 30,with shortlisted entrants and winners announced early October. Competition entries can be uploaded on the Forest of Bowland National Landscape website at: www.forestofbowland.com/bowland-life-through-lens
