Scotland in focus – photography competition

A photography competition ‘Scottishscapes’ aimed at young people living in the Falkirk area has been launched today, Monday 7 January.

Entitled ‘Scotland and Me’ young people are being invited to submit photos they have taken of Scottish landscapes and nature.

The four best images will be selected for display on the walls of SCRA’s soon-to-be refurbished Children’s Hearings Centre in Falkirk.

The refurbishment aims to provide warm, welcoming child and young person friendly premises, for those who attend Children’s Hearings.

The theme of the photography competition has been chosen to complement the refurbishment’s decorative ‘Scottishscapes’ theme.

Competition photos should fall into either one or both of the following categories:

• Views of Scottish landscapes and/or nature including the silhouette or abstract image of a child/young person within the image. (No-one should be recognisable)
• And/or creative photographs of Scottish landscapes or nature

A £50 Amazon voucher will be awarded for each of the four winning entries and the closing date is Monday 4 March.

Entries should be submitted via email to competitions@scra.gsi.gov.uk
