Is the competition in this weeks Observer? I've not bought a copy yet.

E-mail your preferred photo in JPEG format to [email protected] mark the subject field PICTURE COMPETITION
only one entry per person is pemitted...you must include your name and address and telephone number.
Entries close on January 31st.
Once the competition has closed the entries will be whittled down to a shortlist of ten, and then these will be submitted to the readers for their votes to be cast to choose a winner.
Good Luck Andrew.......I haven't decided yet whether to enter this comp.
I think picture 2 would have a fair chance as it is a well recognised landmark in Accrington, and your picture does make it look very attractive. |

newsflash ... Andrewb has made the final 6 ... and theres a bit about him:
Andrew Barrett of Manchester Road, Accrington took a snap of the Grade II listed mansion at oakhill park which was built in 1793 by thomas hargreaves. The 21 politics student feels lucky to have made the final six after entering the cash prize christmas card competition by chance. "I had been at oakhill park with my camera and just happened to get shots of the mansion during the heavy snow" said andrew, aformer mount carmel high school pupil. "When i heard about the competition later in the observer ithought the picture that i took was a good one to enter".
