Winning photographs, chosen by a panel of judges, will be displayed on the council website, social media channels and within the council’s resident newspaper the Borough Bulletin.
Executive Member for Climate Change at the Borough Council, Councillor Martin Cartwright said:
Everyone has their own idea of what climate change means to them, and I hope that residents will show us what it means to them through the lens of a camera or phone.
Climate change is a hugely important and emotive topic and how it affects us, our lives, the world around us, the weather, the countryside, animals, nature and much more and we hope that with this competition you will show us what it means to you. Every picture tells a story – and we want to see yours.
Every submission to this competition will be a unique captured moment in time irrespective if it wins or not. Good luck with your entries.
