Amateur snappers could win a spot in Hospice calendar

Amateur photographers could see their work featured in a fundraising calendar, in aid of St Nicholas Hospice Care.

The charity is launching a competition for photographs of uplifting scenes from the region, which would be suitable for inclusion in the Hospice's 2013 calendar.

Susanne Dickson, Retail Co-ordinator, said: "We want the calendar to feature some beautiful and uplifting scenes to reflect every season, taken in the West Suffolk and Thetford area."

The photographs will be judged by a panel including professional photographers, a Hospice Trustee and a patient.

The closing date for entries is 4pm on Friday, 23 March.

• Entries should be submitted via email to Susanne.dickson@stnh.org.uk or on a CD sent to Susanne Dickson, St Nicholas Hospice Care Retail Centre, Unit 6, Boldero Road, Bury St Edmunds IP32 7BS or delivered by hand to the same address. Entries must be labelled with the entrant's name and image files must be in landscape format, 300 dpi and between 2MB and

  4MB. Entrants should include their name, address, email address, telephone number, age, details of where the photograph was taken and one sentence (max 25 words) about why they are entering the competition.
