Last chance to get snapping this Spring

IT IS the last chance for keen photographers to celebrate the beauty of season by entering a new competition launched by the Greenfield and Grasscroft Residents’ Association (GGRA) Tree Watch Group.

Children and adults alike are invited to submit their pictures of trees and can choose any aspect they like, such as woodland, individual trees, branches, leaves or blossom.P23 trees poster 2_001

All entries to the competition, which is sponsored by Millyard Gallery and Eden Flowers, must be taken in Saddleworth between March 1 and May 31, 2014.

Entries will be judged by professional photographer Darren Robinson and the best will be published in the Oldham Chronicle and on GGRA’s website, and prizes will be awarded.

Set up at the start of the year, the Greenfield Tree Watch Group seeks to protect trees and hedgerows in the area, preventing unnecessary felling and damage to woodland.

(blob) Entries to the ‘Trees in Spring’ competition must be submitted as high resolution .jpg files by email to comms@ggra.co.uk no later than Monday, June 2. No more than five photos per entrant. Entrants must state name, age (if under 16), location(s) with date(s).

Anyone interested in getting involved in the Tree watch Group please contact comms@ggra.co.uk or phone 01457 597666.
