CALLING all keen snappers! The Evesham Observer has joined forces with Specsavers Evesham to launch the spec-tacular photography competition, Life Thru a Lens, to find the area’s best amateur nature photographer.


Together, Specsavers Evesham and the Observer are challenging local amateur photographers to capture the outstanding nature Evesham and its surrounding area has to offer.


So, whether it’s a shot of the glorious Vale countryside, a snap of the wildlife enjoying the River Avon, or an iconic image that depicts the wonderful local scenery, we want to hear from you!


The competition is open to amateur photographers, made up of two age categories – under 16’s and 16 and over.


There are great prizes up for grabs, with the winning entry from the under 16’s category receiving a Pentax Optio WG-2 digital camera worth £250.


Meanwhile the 16 and over winner will receive half a day’s tutorial with expert nature photographer Lee Webb.


CT Wong, store director of Specsavers in Evesham said: “It’s such a fantastic opportunity to showcase the glorious green space and local wildlife in and around the Vale of Evesham.


“As you can imagine, we’re really looking forward to seeing what the local talent has to offer.”


The Observer will be showcasing some of the best photographs in the paper before a shortlist will be selected by Observer editor Rob George, expert nature photographer Lee Webb and Specsavers Evesham store director CT Wong.


The shortlist of entrants will be invited to a presentation ceremony at the Specsavers store at 25 Bridge Street, Evesham.


Entries will preferably be submitted as JPEG images via e-mail or on CD but will be accepted as hard copies.
