Search is on for best views that show off pretty village
PEOPLE in Quorn are being asked to share photographs of their favourite views for a competition.
McCarthy and Stone, the developer of retirement communities behind the Mill Gardens and Farnham House Retirement Living development in Quorn, is looking to capture some of the architecture and culture that can be found around every corner of the village and its surrounding area, so it can be enjoyed by its new and prospective homeowners.
The competition aims to showcase photographs of scenery, wildlife and landscapes taken by amateur photographers and members of the community that encapsulate their favourite views. These might be well known views of Charnwood Forest, the picturesque village or the river Soar. They could be ‘best kept secrets’ or even have a personal meaning.
The Mayor of Charnwood, Councillor David Snartt, will judge the competition. The best photographs will be displayed in the new show complex at the development, which is now open to view by appointment only, and the winning entrant will receive £250.
Samantha Watkins, Deputy Divisional Sales and Marketing Director at McCarthy and Stone Midlands, commented: “We have all been enjoying more walks lately and really taking the time to appreciate what’s on our doorstep. Quorn has so many stunning views and places to visit, and we want to help our future communities at Mill Gardens and Farnham discover some of these for themselves, and who better to show them we thought than local residents!
“We want the photographs to be displayed pride of place in our new show complex. These will be enjoyed for years to come by our homeowners and customers at the development.”
Each entrant is permitted to submit a maximum of five photos. These should be emailed to mccarthyandstone@ mccann.com by the closing date of Friday 18th December with ‘Quorn Photo Contest’ in the subject. In your email you should include your full name and a title for your photograph and where it was taken.
Open to all ages. Under 16s must ask an adult’s permission. Please ask permission of anyone who appears in your photo.
