During the period of the COVID-19 lockdown we have been running an informal weekly photographic competition via our facebook ‘Stay-at-Home’ group, with a different theme each week.
The themes so far have been:-
- Birds
- Insects
- Flora
- Flight
- Hidden lives
- ‘Baby’ birds
- Art (inspired by or created during lockdown)
- Water
- Mammals
- Butterfly or moth study
Our next weekly themes are:-
- Action and/ or funny shots
- Landscapes – photographic or artwork
If you wish to enter either of these, (and are not on facebook), please send me your entries via email to groupleader@rspbgravesend.org.uk .
The deadlines for submission are Sunday 5th July 6pm and Sunday 12th July 6pm respectively.
Voting has so far been via a poll within the ‘Stay-at-Home’ facebook group. The voting for entries for these two themes will be available to members who are subscribed to our mailing list as well.
Good luck if you decide to enter!
