Photography Competition Terms and Conditions

📷 Celebrate Belonging in Wiltshire’s Community Groups! Enter our Photography Competition Today! 🌈🤝

Calling all photography enthusiasts and community champions! We invite you to capture the beauty of belonging within the diverse community groups of Wiltshire through your lens. Our Photography Competition celebrates the spirit of unity, friendship, and support found in LGBTQ+ organisations, sports clubs, community support groups, charitable groups, youth groups, and friendship circles.

🤗 Embrace the Power of Belonging: We encourage you to capture the essence of belonging within Wiltshire’s community groups, showcasing the joy, camaraderie, and strength that emerge when individuals come together. Whether it’s the inclusive atmosphere of LGBTQ+ organisations, sports clubs, community support groups, charitable acts that transform lives, youth groups, or friendship, your photographs can tell powerful stories of belonging and inspire others to find their place within these remarkable groups.

📸 Showcase the Beauty of Community: Photography has a remarkable ability to freeze moments in time, capturing the emotions, connections, and narratives that make communities thrive. With your camera in hand, explore the dynamic gatherings, laughter, and conversations. Let your photographs reflect the diversity, inclusivity, and resilience that define these groups while highlighting the individuals and their stories that embody the spirit of belonging.
