Countryfile
launches Photographic Competition 2003
This
Sunday (4 May 2003) sees the official launch of the Countryfile
Photographic Competition 2003 at 11.30am on ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ ONE.
Countryfile
presenter John Craven is joined by photographer Lord Lichfield and
top landscape photographer Charlie Waite at the Lichfield ancestral
home, Shugborough Hall.
A
group of amateur photographers from the Royal Photographic Society
and the Smethwick Photographic Society will receive a master-class
from the experts.
Last
year's competition was the most successful year to date, receiving
upwards of 9,000 entries.
The
competition was an outstanding success and more than 33,000 calendars
containing the winning images were sold.
£120,000
was given to ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Children in Need - more than the total for the
previous three years.
The
theme for this year's competition is The Four Seasons in the
British Countryside, encouraging photographers, old and new,
to enter images that show off the countryside at its best - in all
weathers.
The
judges' top 12 images will be printed in the 2004 calendar and the
overall winner will be chosen by Countryfile viewers in a telephone
vote.
