SNAPPERS can develop their skills by celebrating Rugby’s past and present in this year’s Rugby 2019 Calendar Competition.
Organisers at Rugby Visitor Centre are encouraging photographers to submit iconic images of Rugby for a chance to have their work featured in the calendar.
And snappers keen to sharpen camera skills before entering the competition can attend workshops at Rugby Art Gallery and Museum run by professional photographer Jamie Gray.
Entrants have been urged to interpret this year’s ‘past and present’ theme in creative and imaginative ways, with the best dozen photographs – selected by a panel of judges – taking pride of place in the 2019 Rugby Calendar and featuring in a display at the Art Gallery and Museum.
The overall winner of the competition wins a Polaroid OneStep2 camera or the equivalent value in Rugby town centre shopping vouchers, courtesy of sponsor Rugby First.
The photography skills workshops take place on Saturday June 23 and Saturday August 4 from 10am to 2pm.
Participants can learn hints and tips to improve camera skills before joining Jamie on a tour of the town centre to take photographs.
To book a place at a workshop, priced £20, visit Rugby Visitor Centre, email [email protected] or call (01788) 533217.
