Get creative with photography

Winner of the Rotary in Cumbria & Lancashire Competition is Laurie Taylor, aged 13 from Lostock Hall Academy, Preston.

The ‘Wonderful Water’ Theme can be interpreted as broadly as a Young Photographer wishes, and living in Cumbria and Lancashire there are many opportunities with our lovely lakes, rivers and coast.

The competition aims to encourage young people to:

experiment with photography
use digital and/or traditional methods of photography
demonstrate interpretation of the topic
express personal ideas through the medium of photography.

The competition was open to young people in 3 age bands: under 11, 11-13,14-17 yrs old on 31st August 2024. They may be an individual or from any group or community organisation including schools and colleges, home educated and other young peoples’ community organisations, for example, community RotaKids, community Interact, Scout Groups, Girl Guides.

There were two stages to the competition, each designed to support and encourage the development of photographic skills. Local/district competition for entries to be submitted by 28th February 2025 and if selected the young photographer will be entered into the national competition held on 30th April 2025.
