Photographs that include people are encouraged, but stunning images of the landscape taken while people are out enjoying the National Park are also welcomed.

Laura Warren, events and engagement officer for the National Park, said, “September and early October are a beautiful time of year to take pictures of the National Park, with amazing sunsets and an array of colours in the treescape.

“People may have a picture on their mobile phone of the National Park taken over the summer, so please do consider sending it in to our judging team.
