With spring on its way, award-winning retirement housebuilder Churchill Living is inviting local photographers to get their cameras at the ready as it announces details of its Penzance photography competition.
Both professional and keen amateur photographers are being asked to take a scenic photograph of Churchill’s Mount’s Bay Lodge development to capture its seafront location on New Town Lane in Penzance, from across the harbour or bay.
The entries will be reviewed by an independent panel of judges from Churchill Living, with the overall winner receiving £250* to put towards new photography equipment, plus two further £100* runner up prizes. The winning photographs will also be framed and displayed in the Lodge. The closing date for entries is Friday 11th May 2018, and winners will be notified by email within 14 days of the close of the competition. Entries must be labelled with the entrant’s name, address, telephone number and location of the photograph. All entries should be sent to Jo Ridehalgh, Churchill Living via email on jo.ridehalgh@churchillretirement.co.uk.
Jo Ridehalgh, regional marketing executive at Churchill Living, said: “Our photography competition is a fantastic way to encourage local photographers, both professionals and amateurs, to get out and about on the harbour front and get snapping away with the chance to win this amazing prize. With the picturesque harbour and seafront, scenic backdrop of Mount’s Bay and St Michael’s Mount all in view of our Lodge, we’re really looking forward to seeing what sights people can capture of Mount’s Bay Lodge. We want to encourage people to get outside and explore this fantastic seaside town!"
