Entries are sought for photographic celebration of Dales landscapes
ENTRIES are now open for the popular Yorkshire Dales photography competition, which celebrates the beauty and character of the Dales landscape.
The competition, run by charity Yorkshire Dales Millennium Trust (YDMT) and The Garden Rooms at Tennants in Leyburn, hopes to inspire amateur photographers of all abilities to get out into the Dales and capture its unique landscapes and wildlife.

This year’s competition is also open to under 18s, whose work will be included in the gallery exhibition.
YDMT’s Lindsay Wallace said: “The Yorkshire Dales is an inspiration to so many people and every year we’re blown away by the standard of photography that people are producing for the competition.
“We’re excited this year to see entries from younger photographers and discover their unique perspectives of the Dales.”
