Naturally Curious are hosting a photographic competition all about celebrating trees. Don Stenhouse, Collections Access Officer (Museums) will be helping to judge the competition. The photo can be an image of a single tree, or of a forest. Your image might be the tree you always sit by at lunch, or a tree that you like the shape of, or is very old. The image should be a tree that means something to you, even if thousands of other people see it every day. When you submit your image, you must state why you chose your tree in no more than 40 words. The competition is open to those living in North West England and closes on Friday 9 September 2011 (over 16s) and Friday 16 September (under 16s).
