Welcome to Tain and District Love My District 2020 - Photography Competition

The aim of the Love My District 2020 is to celebrate local places, buildings and people by encouraging residents of the Ward 7 communities to come together through photography and celebrate the distinct beauty and features of our district.

It is hoped that the Love My District Photography Competition will encourage people to investigate the District in which they live, and record stories or tales associated with the photographs through investigation and inspirational communication. Entrants are encouraged to include a short paragraph about the image and why it appeals to them.

All photographs will be displayed in the Tain & District Development Trust website and on our Social Media pages. Where possible photographs will contain a link to the District in the photo to allow media visitors to obtain a wider knowledge of the District ie A picture of Tarbat Ness Lighthouse with links to Portmahomack Church, Nigg Stone – Nigg Church, Pictish connections etc. Photos could also be used in TDDT’s Tourism Marketing strategy.

The competition will run from October 2020 to January 2021 with judging taking place by a panel of local photographers. Depending on numbers entering it could involve a roadshow to all Districts of the Ward where the public will vote on their favourite in each category.
