The competition is open to all schools, colleges and community organisations.

The age group categories are: Junior 7 to 10 years; Intermediate 11 to 13 years and Senior 14 to 17 years.

At least one of the photographs entered will be displayed at an exhibition held at Rugby Art Gallery & Museum in February next year.

Rotarian Terri Morgan, from Rotary Club of Rugby Saturday Breakfast and competition organiser said: “I believe it is a brilliant, diverse theme this year and I am hoping it will appeal to all three age groups.

“Last year I received the most entries since starting the completion seven years ago, this year I am hoping to break that figure again. Every year I say the photographs cannot be outdone but the standard is exceptional and never fails to inspire the judges and me.”

Terri added: “I cannot wait to see them.”
