ENTRIES are now open for the 2019 Wonders of Wrexham Calendar photography competition.

Last year’s competition was very successful and the authority received some stunning photographs taken throughout the year of wonderful architecture and beauty spots in and around the county borough taken by local, amateur photographers.

Thee competition is running again with one difference – the entries must all be in by Sunday, September 23, so get looking through your snaps and start sending in your entries.

Judges are again hoping for another selection of wonderful photos – with several recognised areas of outstanding natural beauty, three of the Wonders of Wales are here in Wrexham, there are two national trust properties and the Aqueduct at Pontcysyllte.

There are also country parks, architecture in churches and old buildings, bridges, canals and the many waterways that flow through the county borough.

In addition there are outdoor events such as the St David’s Day Parade, Play Day, Under the Arches, RAF100 and Freedom celebrations, which give great opportunities for good photographs.

All images should be submitted at a resolution of minimum 300dpi and the file formats that will be accepted are Tiff, Psd, Epos, Jpeg, High res pdf.

The images can be taken at any time of the year but they must be of somewhere in the county borough. A total of 13 images will be included in the 2019 Calendar – one for the front cover and one for each month of the year.

Please bear in mind the size of the images printed will be 295mm x 295mm and images should be cropped to this size or large enough to be cropped to this size.

Once again there is no prize but the winning entries will receive a copy of the 2019 Wonders of Wrexham as a thank you.

You can also enter as many images as you wish.

Cllr Andy Williams, Mayor of Wrexham, said: “We had some very special photos submitted last year and the bar has been set for a very tough competition. I look forward to seeing them all as they come in and to seeing the final selection. Good luck everyone.”

All photos should be sent to calendar@wrexham.gov.uk
