Our 2021 photographic competition is open to all amateur photographers with prizes for the best images. Entry is free. We will display the winning photographs at the Canal Cafe at Chichester Canal Basin and the best entries will feature in any future merchandise and Canal publicity.

Imber Court Photo Training has once again kindly offered a £150 voucher to spend on one of their training courses or for a 1-1 half day training session. Imber Court has an excellent reputation for its training and we are thrilled that they are able to make this offer in these difficult financial times. Do check them out http://www.imbercourtphototraining.co.uk . The Canal is offering a further prize of 4 tickets on our canal boat Kingfisher.

The judges will be looking for images of the Canal and its environment. The entrants could capture people, heritage, activities, wildlife, emotion or seasons.

The competition closes on 31st July at noon.

Digital images (preferably 2mb and above) are required and may be submitted to ccphotos@nullchichestercanal.com. A maximum of 3 entries per person is permitted. In the event of more than 3 being received, subsequent entries will be discounted.
