Cash prize for Steep Photo

Fri 23rd Jul 2010, 10:20

Entries for the Steep Parish Plan photography competition must be in by Friday 24 September 2010

There is still a chance to bag the £100 cash prize for the best photo taken of Steep Village but the deadline is looming. Judges are looking for the photograph that best describes life in the parish of Steep. The photographic subject can be of any aspect that captures the essence of the village including landscape, buildings, people, events etc.

The best entries will be used to illustrate an exhibition about Steep and provide material for a poster and a Steep calendar to support local charities. First prize is £100 and runners-up will each receive a £10 token.

The Steep Parish Plan steering group, in association with Life in Petersfield, is a new initiative that will eventually result in a design ‘blueprint’ for the village.
