Friends of Marsden Library calendar competition!

Submit your entries by 30th June

Can you capture the highlights of life in Marsden and the Colne Valley? There’s so much inspiration, from our amazing landscape and wildlife to the huge variety of events and activities going on. We can’t wait to see your great pictures.

Hints and Tips

Do you want the insider info on how to be successful? Here’s a few pointers that might help:

  • Make sure your picture is horizontal (often referred to as landscape) in orientation. That’s because that’s how the winning pictures are printed in the calendar.
  • The judges are looking for a variety of pictures. Landscapes are welcome, so are pictures of people taking part in the many village events. As we always say, we’re looking for images that capture the spirit of the Colne Valley.
  • The judges also like to try and make the winning images season appropriate, so it’s a good idea to take pictures all year round.
  • If there’s been something special that’s happened in the last year, that’s often a good bet for inclusion.
  • And the judges don’t expect your pictures to be technically brilliant, its far more important that they’re interesting :-).
