PHOTOGRAPHY COMPETITION
The New Forest has miles of coastline jam-packed with wonderful nature and extraordinary history.
What does the coast mean to you? Crashing waves and drift wood? Cold-water dips, dog walks, or dinghy racing? Migratory birds or sand between your toes?
Whatever floats your boat is fine by us! We don’t mind if you are shooting on a phone or an SLR, just let your photo tell the story!
​
Great prizes are up for grabs, and the winning photos will displayed at a curated exhibition at the Countryside Education Trust's Fort Climate Centre in Beaulieu.
​
All entries will be assessed by a panel of judges, including acclaimed photographer Steve Poole.
