♠♦ Playing Cards Photography Competition ♥♣
📆 All entries must be received no earlier than 11th July and no later than Mon 11th Aug 2025.
After the success of the Young Photographers’ Competition last summer, we are holding another competition, but this time it is for all ages and there will be 54 winners because we want to create a bespoke pack of playing cards with images of the gardens, buildings and wildlife here. Perhaps you already have a photograph that you have taken at The Bishop’s Palace, or by the moat, that you think would look good on a playing card. Maybe you want to get your pet dog in the photo! We are planning on having five categories:
♦ Category 1 Diamonds : Wildlife
♣ Category 2 Clubs : Gardens
♠ Category 3 Spades: Buildings
♥ category 4 Hearts : Under 16s (any image of gardens/wildlife/buildings or pet dog)
🐕 Category 5 Jokers: A close up image of your pet dog (on a lead!) set in gardens or by the moat.
