If you’re aged between 16 and 25 and enjoy snapping away on your camera, see what the theme ‘The Secret Life Of Canals And Rivers’  conjures up in your mind and send your entries to emma.wright@thewaterwaystrust.co.uk by May 31st 2010.  Use your imagination and see what delights you can come up with, whether it be a photo of a canal boat or a Kingfisher.

Make sure you send jpegs and keep them to a maximum size of 800 pixels x 800 pixels so they fit on our screens! The best entries that we receive will be exhibited in the National Waterways Museum at Ellesmere Port some time later in the year and the winners will get to spend a day boating with friends!

Get snapping!

Hyperbole aside, If you’re aged between 16 and 25 and consider yourself a dab-hand with apertures, exposure times, high dynamic ranges and so on, or perhaps you’re a dangerously spontaneous wielder of the trusty camera-phone, get thinking along the lines of The Secret Life Of Canals And Rivers and send your entries to emma.wright@thewaterwaystrust.co.uk by March 31st 2010. Make sure you send jpegs and keep them to a maximum size of 800 pixels x 800 pixels so they fit on our screens! The best entries that we receive will be exhibited in the National Waterways Museum at Ellesmere Port some time later in the year.
