Community groups in Harrogate district given chance to win £3,000
Community groups in the Harrogate district could win up to £3,000 in a new photography competition.
The competition, which has opened for entries, celebrates the work of voluntary organisations in North Yorkshire.
It is being run by Two Ridings Community Foundation, which coordinates charitable giving in North and East Yorkshire, in conjunction with Clare Granger, the Birstwith-based High Sheriff of North Yorkshire and professional artist.
The contest, which is open until September 5, seeks the best amateur photographs that capture the essence of community. There are two categories: our people and our place.
Bec Horner, communications manager at Two Ridings, said:

A panel of six judges will shortlist the three most impactful photos in each category.
The shortlisted groups will be invited to a photography exhibition in October where final decisions will be made.
The first prize in each category is £3,000, second prize is £2,000 and third prize £1,000. These are unrestricted funds groups can use to fund anything they choose.
The photography exhibition will take place on October 25 at Allerton Castle, near Knaresborough, where the winning and highly commended photographs will be enlarged and displayed.
