TIME is running out to enter a photography competition celebrating the beauty of Weymouth and Portland's parks.

The contest is being run by Weymouth and Portland Borough Council - and there's £100 on offer for the best snap.

To enter, just take your picture and post it on Twitter or Instagram with the hashtag #loveweyportparks2018

The deadline for entries is September 30.

Cllr Kate Wheller, community facilities spokesman at the borough council, said: “Weymouth and Portland’s award-winning parks and gardens are among the best in the country. Enjoying them is free, so why not go to your local park, take a snap and you could win £100!

“We are very fortunate to have so many beautiful public parks, gardens and green spaces that we can walk, play and relax in. As a borough we can all take pride in our parks.

“The aim of this competition is to get more people to enjoy these beautiful places on their doorstep."

There are 10 parks and gardens in Weymouth and Portland and they host a programme of community events including art exhibitions, park runs, concerts and outdoor shows.

Photographs can also be emailed in to communication@dorset.gov.uk or posted to Parks Photography Competition, South Walks House, Dorchester, DT1 1UZ.
