Reasons To Be Cheerful - countryside charity launches photo competition in Glastonbury

By Guest 16th Jul 2021

Countryside charity, CPRE Somerset, is inviting everyone in Glastonbury and surrounding area to send in their favourite shots of the great outdoors to help keep us going in these challenging times.

2020 is turning out to be like no other year that any of us have ever experienced. We are all facing unprecedented restrictions on our daily lives due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

Our freedom to go outside is now extremely limited and, for some, a trip out of the home may make you feel anxious and worried.

As the countryside charity, CPRE Somerset wants to remind us all how wonderful it can be to be in the great outdoors and of how, even the smallest details can be fascinating and uplifting.

That's why CPRE is launching its 2020 photo competition with the theme Reasons To Be Cheerful with a £100 prize for the winner.

  • If you're able to get out in nature, in a way that keeps you and others around you safe, why not take some photos and send them to us to share?
  • If you can't get out and about, you could still send in pictures from your garden or even the view from your window.
  • Or you could send in a favourite photo you took in the last two years.
  • The charity would love to see photos that include people enjoying the outdoors - while keeping themselves and others safe, of course. It also values close up details showing the intimate experience of being outside in nature, your garden – or even the allotment.

CPRE Somerset chair, Chris Lewis, said: "It is more important than ever to try to stay positive in these difficult times.

"As the countryside charity, we'd love to see images of the little things about the Somerset countryside, or nature just outside your window, which are keeping you going while you follow the social distancing rules.

"The great outdoors will still be waiting for us when we are free to return, but for now, let's all share some little reasons to be cheerful closer to home."

Entries should be emailed as an attachment to [email protected] by midnight on August 31 2020.

Full terms and conditions can be found on CPRE Somerset's website at www.cpresomerset.org.uk.
