Winners of Nelson Town Deal’s photography competition

 

Pendle residents were asked to take their cameras and phones out on to the streets of Nelson and be as creative as possible to get their best shot.

Entries included some of the town’s landmarks and parks pictured in all seasons, people going about their daily life and scenes of Nelson with the icon Pendle Hill in the background.

Councillor Asjad Mahmood, Leader of Pendle Borough Council and Nelson Town Deal board member, said: “This was an opportunity for the borough’s residents to go out and capture the people and places of Nelson.

“We had some fantastic entries which depicted the best of the town and its surrounding parks and green spaces.”

People of all ages were invited to participate in different age categories.

Staff from Tiny Pixels Kodak Express in Nelson had the difficult task of choosing just three images from the entries in the different age categories.

The winners:

Adults

First - James Fitzpatrick

Second - Dave Carl Lawrence

Third - Danielle Garnett

Age 15 and under

First - Sana Hussain (age 15)

Second - Jayden Howarth (age 15)

Third - Muadh Aslam (age 12)

The winners from each age group will receive a £50 voucher to spend at Tiny Pixels Kodak Express in Nelson. Second place runners-up from each category will receive a £30 voucher of their choice and third place runners-up will receive a £20 voucher of their choice.

Stephen Barnes, Chair of Nelson Town Deal, added: “Nelson Town Deal is all about improving the town for its residents and visitors and it was fascinating to see what people thought was great about the town and its people.”
