15th April - 15th August - Photographic Competition
Tring Brewery in conjunction with The Woodland Trust, the Natural History Museum at Tring and Millican are proud to present a new photographic competition - A Shot in The Park.
This free to enter and open to all competition runs from 15th April until 15th August culminating in an award ceremony and 6 week exhibition at the Natural History Museum at Tring later in the year.
Ben Marston of Tring Brewery commented, "Despite its relatively small geographical spread, Tring's landscape, history, industry and attractions are amazingly diverse. The competition is designed to celebrate this, cross promote the regions assets and allow individuals of all ages and abilities to play a part in capturing the character of Tring Park. Millican, our prize sponsor have kindly put forward over £2000 worth of camera bags as prizes. Great prizes aside, it is our shared enthusiasm for getting outside and enjoying the great outdoors that has driven the partnership between all organisations".
Based around the themes of Life, Colour and Weather, we are looking for unique, creative and inspiring images that reflect the beauty and diversity of the Woodland Trust managed Tring Park environment.
