Chichester Harbour Photo Competition
Annual competition organised by Chichester Harbour Conservancy
Fri 23rd Apr - Fri 15th Oct
Could your photo of Chichester Harbour be worth £100? Photographers of all abilities are being invited to spend the summer taking shots of the harbour to enter into a competition. Chichester Harbour which is designated as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty is one of the finest landscapes in England. The unique combination of water, land and wildlife makes the harbour a photographer’s dream. From the traditional villages such as Bosham and Emsworth to the drama of dinghy races on the water and the calm of coastal footpaths, there are plenty of opportunities for photography. The theme of this year’s competition is ‘Inspired by Chichester Harbour Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty’. Each entrant can submit up to three photographs, each with a short caption explaining what makes the photograph special. Judges from Chichester Observer, Whitby’s Imaging Centre and Chichester Harbour Conservancy will choose three winners and 15 runner-ups. The public will then be asked to vote for their favourite to win a further prize.
