Photography competition

For its latest photography competition, the Inland Waterways Association (IWA) is looking for photographs that illustrate the changing seasons of the year. Shots of waterways from all over the UK can feature bustling canal and river scenes to more serene, lesser used waterways.  You can also enter images with various structures, craft and activities, to demonstrate the fantastic and diverse ways in which waterways are used. Winning photos will feature in IWA's calendar and Christmas cards. The top prize for the latest photography competition is a complete set of OS Nicholsons Guides to the Waterways, worth over £130, kindly donated by Harper Collins. All shortlisted entries will receive three copies of IWA's 2017 calendar.
