Essex village launches photograph competition ahead of 2012 calendar fundraiser
AFTER the overwhelming success of last year’s Finchingfield calendar, the search is underway for the 12 best photos of the village.
The Guildhall Restoration Project Team has announced that it is running the Images of Finchingfield competition again this year.
Entry is open now and will close July 8. All entries will be displayed at an exhibition on July 16-17 from 2–4 pm at the Finchingfield Village Hall, at which guests will be able to vote for their favourites.
The 12 best placed images will then be used to create a 2012 calendar, proceeds from which will benefit the restoration project.
The conditions of entry are as follows:
• Images can be photographs, paintings or other visual media.
• One calendar month will be reserved for children aged 10 or under.
