IMAGES by 20 photography competition finalists are on display in the Love Lacock outdoor exhibition throughout October. The photographs are on show in the autumnal woodlands of Lacock Abbey, once home to William Henry Fox Talbot, and the overall champion and winner in each of the four categories will be decided by visitors to the National Trust property.

All photographers, from eight-year-olds with their first camera to film photography fans, were invited to enter the competition earlier this yea.

More than 100 entries were received from all over the world for four categories: young photographers (11 and under), young photographers (12-16), digital photography and traditional photography processes.

The 20 finalists have been selected by a panel of professional photographers and Lacock Abbey staff and volunteers, based on a combination of photographic ability and the sentiment conveyed in the image.

The overall winner will receive a VIP Lacock experience for themselves and up to four guests, which includes a private tour of the abbey’s attic and a cream tea. The winner of each category will receive a Lacock-themed prize hamper and certificate.
