Green Eyes Photographic Competition

Laois County Council’s Environment Section is now accepting entries, until 30 October, in the annual Green Eyes amateur photographic competition.  Photographs can be taken on one of five possible themes including Litter, Waste, Water, Energy and Climate Change and there are three competition categories for Primary Schools, Secondary Schools and Adults. 

The competition captured the imagination of the public when it debuted in 2009 according to Ann-Marie Kelly, Environment Awareness Officer as “the purpose of the competition is to encourage participants to think twice about our environment and find ways to reduce our day to day impact.”

Those interested in participating in the competition, should note that “judges are looking for original and creative pictures as well as a photo that has a good composition.  Each submission must include the photographer’s name and caption/title for their entry and specify what category they wish to enter” added Ann-Marie.

Full details, including entry from and details of judging criteria/specifications, are avaialble on: Green Eyes Photographic Competition web page.

Best of luck!
