Last chance to enter the competition – deadline tomorrow- 19th February !!


Saddleworth Hydro is running a photo competition for young people up to and including the age of 18yrs. There will be cash prizes as well as a chance for the winning pictures to feature on Saddleworth Life.


We want to see some eye-opening pictures of nature in Saddleworth and the surrounding area, especially of how plants, animals and birds are adapting to the changing world around them. David Attenborough’s recent ‘witness statement’, A Life on Our Planet, available on Netflix, provided the inspiration for this. His film showed how humans are greatly reducing the space for nature and how we can do something about the loss of biodiversity.

Young photographers can use this competition to produce their own witness statement, by showing how nature is adapting to living alongside us and also how people are helping nature to recover


You can submit up to 3 photographs that best illustrate this theme and are nicely composed. New year, new seasons, new life. There are snowdrops sending up shoots, fungi flourishing on dead wood and birds battling the elements. So when you’re fed up learning at home, grab your phone and head outside to take some brilliant photos – and maybe win a prize!

How to enter:

First, register at www.saddleworthhydro.co.uk/photography-competition where you’ll find the address to which you should upload your pictures.
