I've won a pair of Hi-Tec walking boots in a photo competition run by the Camping and Caravanning Club, along with no other than Ms Di Coke! Congratulations Di.
There were 10 categories in 'The Alternative Decathlon' competition, where you had to interpret Olympic themes with a camping slant, such as 'Discuss', 'Relay' and 'Beam'.
I entered a photo in each category and came joint third in the 'Hurdles' category with the photo of a red squirrel breaking entry into a nut feeder (right).
I didn't think it was my strongest entry - in fact, it was a last-minute entry just for the sake of entering something. It just goes to show that it depends what the judges are looking for and it's worth having a go.
I like entering 'skill-based' competitions, as you have to put a bit of effort into your entry, you can be creative and fewer people enter, so you have more chance of winning.
Thank you Prizefinder for the competition info!
