TALENTED amateur photographers are being invited to showcase their skills with a camera, courtesy of a competition organised by Loch Lomond Shores.

The venue’s annual photography competition is returning for the autumn and will see amateur photographers invited to come along and take pictures anywhere at Loch Lomond Shores.

Those taking part can choose from the wide variety of shots on offer, including views of the loch, beaches, woodland, wildlife or even fun portraits.

Great location

Audrey Calder, from Loch Lomond Shores, said: “We’ve been blown away by the many talented photographers who have entered in previous years and are excited to see the images submitted in this year’s competition. 

“We think we offer a great location for amateur photographers, and they’ve proved it time and again. 

"All we ask is that they make sure the image is taken here at Loch Lomond Shores – whether it’s in our woodland, on the loch within the bay, on our beaches or anywhere around the site – both inside and out. 

"They can focus on close-ups of wildlife, nature, structures, portraits – whatever they love taking pictures of.”

There are two categories for the competition – under 16 and over 16 – and it runs from October 8 until November 12.

The prizes for the under-16 competition are two child tickets for Treezone, and an annual family season ticket for the Loch Lomond Bird of Prey Centre, valid from December 2022 to December 2023.

The prize for the over 16 competition is a £150 voucher for the Loch Lomond Leisure 2023 season where the winner can use the voucher for tours or water sports. 

A lucky winner will also receive an annual family season ticket for the Loch Lomond Bird of Prey Centre, valid from December 2022 to December 2023.

Entries should be uploaded to the photography competition section at www.lochlomondshores.com no later than Saturday, November 12, along with contact details and category details.

A panel of judges will make their decision on winners no later than Friday, November 26.
