Did you get a new camera for Christm<strong>as</strong> or do you<br />
have one tucked away? Then it is time to put it through<br />
its paces from the banks of the Wey & Arun Canal. A<br />
photo competition with the theme of “Life on the Wey<br />
& Arun Canal” is organised by the Wey & Arun Canal<br />
Trust (WACT) and winners will not only be in line for a<br />
prize but also get to see their work printed in the 2014<br />
calendar. The competition is free to enter and the<br />
theme w<strong>as</strong> selected in a bid to inspire people to<br />
explore the people, places, flora and fauna that make<br />
up the canal environment, and also to share images<br />
that have been taken throughout the year. The Trust<br />
hopes to use the best images to reflect the different<br />
se<strong>as</strong>ons in the 2014 calendar, which will be sold to help<br />
raise funds for the continuing restoration work on the<br />
canal. The deadline for entries to the photographic<br />
competition, which can be submitted <strong>as</strong> prints, on a CD<br />
or DVD or by email, is 28th February 2013 and winners<br />
will be announced this spring. Full details of the rules<br />
and submission criteria can be found at<br />
