And they’re not just pretty pictures – they could win great prizes in our superb annual readers’ photographic competition which is once again sponsored by Wilkinson’s Cameras.

As ever they have selected some wonderful prizes to give away to whoever takes the three pictures chosen by our panel of expert judges. The winner will receive a Nikon D3200 & AF-S 18-55 VR worth £445, second prize is a Nikon 1 J2 & 10-30mm White worth £400 and our third place photographer will win a Nikon Coolpix S9300 Red worth £200 (all prices correct as of January).

The judging panel will be led by Lancashire Life editor Roger Borrell who will choose the winners along with picture editor John Cocks and David Pilkington from Wilkinsons Cameras.
