“My Greensand Country” – GCLP Photography Competition (Digital Cameras)

Doors open: 12:00 am

The Greensand County Photography Competition returns and we’d love you to be a part of it. Following on from the series of Photography Workshops led by Phil Richardson of Melen Training, Greensand Country Landscape Partnership is pleased to launch this competition as part of Greensand Festival 2021. The aim of this competition is to capture people’s emotional connection to the landscape and help celebrate it.

The competition is open to all and the theme for the 2021 competition is “My Greensand Country”.

There are no categories for this competition but we encourage you to be as adventurous and daring with your entries as you can be!

The prize for both Winners and Runners Up (of both age ranges) is an outdoor exhibition at Rushmere Country Park, in partnership with The Greensand Trust. The exhibition will open on Saturday 22^nd May 2021

Greensand Country is a beautiful and loved landscape. It is defined by the Greensand Ridge, a band of higher ground stretching from Leighton Buzzard to Gamlingay, which rises out of the surrounding vales to create a locally unique environment. The area contains all of Bedfordshire’s remaining heathland, more than half of its woodland and 29 historic parklands. It is a landscape rich in wildlife and cultural heritage, with its own special qualities and sense of place. A ‘green oasis’ of peace and quiet, rolling countryside and breath-taking views. A place where people feel able to slow down, unwind and connect with nature. Somewhere to escape urban life, breathe easy and feel uplifted.
