For the second year, the Collection Museum and Lincolnshire Wildlife Trust have launched their acclaimed Wildlife Photography competition.

The competition encourages entries from youngsters, nature lovers, smartphone photographers and amateur photographers.

There are four categories for the exhibition including: neighbourhood wildlife, hidden Lincolnshire, water world and Young Wildlife Photographer (16 and under).

Andrea Martin, exhibitions manager at the Collection, comments: "We're delighted to have teamed up with the Lincolnshire Wildlife Trust again to bring this brilliant competition back.

"Lincolnshire has such a wide variety of wildlife and landscapes, so we're looking to see what amazing photographs people have taken.

"The winners of the competition will have their pictures show in a new exhibition at the North Sea Observatory, Chapel St Leonards as well as winning a £250 gift card. The overall winner will win a £500 gift card."

This year's esteemed judging panel comprises of acclaimed photographers, councillors, wildlife experts and researchers.

Entries must be submitted by 5pm on 31 July 2021.
