Cameras at the ready! Specsavers Opticians and the Shropshire Star have teamed up to launch a spec-tacular photographic competition to find Shropshire’s best amateur photographers.

Specsavers at 103 The Borders, The Telford Centre, Telford; 51 New Street, Wellington; 60 High Street, Bridgnorth; and the Shropshire Star are challenging local amateur photographers to capture the essence of the county in a snapshot.

Whether it’s a charming market town, medieval castle, or just a picture perfect example of the stunning scenery within the county - it’s that simple!

Entries will be taken in two age groups - under 29s and over 30s - and the winner from each group will win a K200D Pentax digital SLR camera, while the two runners-up will win a pair of designer frames complete with Pentax single vision lenses.

Even if you’re not a prize winner, your photograph may still be displayed at an exhibition in July.

The exhibition will be followed by a presentation ceremony, when the winners and runners up will receive their prizes and the photos will be sold to raise money for Specsavers’ nominated charity, Diabetes UK.

To enter, complete send your photo (with the information below) to Sharon Walters, Supplements Editor, Shropshire Star, Waterloo Road, Ketley, Telford, TF1 5HU or email swalters@shropshirestar.co.uk.
