Judge Steve Watkins said: ‘I'm excited to see what the photographers produce.

It's a wide theme, so people can focus on their own personal interpretation of and connection to the National Park.

‘The key to creating a great image is to put in the extra bit of time and effort to elevate the photograph above being a mere snapshot.

'It may mean, for example, getting out for a walk earlier or later in the day than you normally would in order to catch the best light, or changing your viewpoint by lying on the ground or climbing a hill to capture the beauty and drama of people horse riding over the South Downs.

‘Small changes such as these can make a big difference to the resulting image.’

A second prize of £150 and a third prize of £50 are also on offer.
