A PHOTOGRAPHY competition and exhibition celebrating the beauty and character of the Yorkshire Dales landscape is open for entries.
The competition, run by the Clapham-based charity Yorkshire Dales Millennium Trust (YDMT) and The Garden Rooms at Tennants in Leyburn, hopes to encourage people to get out into the Dales with a camera and share photographs of their favourite landscapes and wildlife.
Adventurer and author Alastair Humphreys will be joining the judging panel to select 35 finalists, whose work will be included in a gallery exhibition at The Garden Rooms this June.
As a Yorkshireman himself Alastair shared one of his favourite spots, saying, “My favourite views are being high up on the valleys above spots like Keld and Muker.”
Twelve of the shortlisted images will also be featured in a Yorkshire Dales 2024 charity calendar on sale from August 2023.
The trust’s Lindsay Wallace said: “The photo competition has become a great way for amateur photographers to get their work seen, in the exhibition and calendar.
"It’s also an important way for us, as a small charity working to look after the Dales, to help showcase this special area with some fantastic photos.”
Entries close on April 30.
