ORGANISERS of a new photography and film competition in the district are appealing for more entries - particular from young people.

Parks and Places is a year-long celebration of the district’s green space in an effort to record all that is special about parks, woodlands and countryside in the area.

Photographs and films will be screened in a daily exhibition on City Park’s big screen which is updated each month.

With the summer holidays approaching, organisers are encouraging young people – using a phone or camera - to send in their images or films for the under 18s category.

Project leader, Bob Thorp from Bradford Council’s department of place said: “We’ve had some lovely entries from across the District and with the summer holidays approaching we’d really like to see more entries from our young people to get their perspective of the parks and places they enjoy.

“Our usual category for adults is of course now open for August so keep on sending us your content and share with us summer in all its glory.”

This month’s exhibition features work from amateur photographers, Cath Muldowney from Bradford with a picture of red poppies captured on Low Moor and Teresa Kilburn who snapped her labradoodle, Molly, running through bluebells at the Ives Estate, Bingley.

Ms Kilburn, from Eldwick, said: “I enjoy taking photos whilst out walking in the local area, usually just on my phone - but mostly they don’t turn out quite so well as this one!

“I had recently taken the photo when I saw the competition and decided to enter - not something I have ever done before - so I am really excited that it has been selected to be included in July’s exhibition.”

The exhibition can be seen every day at 12.45pm on the big screen.

A selection of the best entries will be judged in an end of year competition, with many awarded a place in a new permanent public exhibition in the city.

Councillor Sarah Ferriby, the Council’s executive member for environment, sport and culture said : “We’ve been quite simply delighted by the response and the range of images that have come in and I think this reflects just how important the district’s green spaces are in peoples’ lives - as a place for relaxation, fun and contemplation.”

The project is being run by the Council in partnership with Bradford UNESCO City of Film.
