If you are a budding snapper or filmmaker with a love of the great outdoors then you could be in luck.

Our charity partner Northumberland Wildlife Trust has launched its 26th annual amateur photography competition.  They are looking for fresh talent to help capture the natural beauty of their local area.

The competition is free to enter and open to anyone who can use a camera. There are two categories this year: Best Wildlife Video and Best Wildlife Photograph.

Entrants from across the UK can enter.  However, only photographs and footage filmed in Northumberland, North Tyneside and Newcastle will be eligible.

There are three age groups:

• 4-12 years

• 13-18 years

• 18+

The winning photographs will feature in the charity’s 40th anniversary celebrations throughout 2011.
