Welcome to the Fourth Belstone Photographic Competition

A Celebration of Belstone in Pictures 2012

All photographs to have been taken within the Parish of Belstone or the local environs, between November 2nd 2011 and November 1st 2012. The photographs may be in any format – print, transparency or digital and may be sent to Edwina and Robin Hill, website editors, throughout the year, up to the closing date – 1st November. Some of the pictures will be displayed on the village website during the year. Winning photographs will be enlarged to A4 and mounted, for display in the Village Hall for a year. After that time they may be reclaimed by the photographer. The overall winning photo in each class will, in addition, be mounted on canvas for permanent display in the Village Hall. Winners will be announced and displayed at the Village Hall Christmas Coffee Morning in December. Winning photographs will also go on the website at that time.
