We're holding a photography competition as part of West Norfolk In Bloom 2016. Prizes will be awarded for the best photographs on the theme “Love Your Parks".
The competition was launched today by Cllr Nockolds and Mike Brindle of the King's Lynn & District Camera Club
Cllr Elizabeth Nockolds, borough council cabinet member for Culture, Heritage and Health, said: "King’s Lynn & West Norfolk has many beautiful parks and green spaces, and In Bloom 2016 will celebrate them again this year. If you love our parks you'll have spotted something worth photographing, and we'd love you to share those pictures with us.
"The competition's theme of “Love Your Parks” covers anything you can see in a park or green space in West Norfolk that shows our parks at their best. Plants and flowers in bloom, wildlife, local people enjoying spending time in our parks: the possibilities are endless!"
