We are seeking photographs of the wonderful coastline, wildlife, buildings and your use (camping, windsurfing, dog walking, to name but a few) of Barrow’s islands for the 'Islands of Barrow Photographic Competition and Exhibition'.
The Borough has a world class coastal heritage with nature reserves, RAMSAR designations and 'Sites of Special Scientific Interest'. The coast is the Borough's playground and the sea has had such a strong influence on the area from Furness Abbey's trading activities in medieval times, to the town's shipbuilding heritage right through to 21st century recreational activities such as kitesurfing.
Photographs submitted for 'The Islands of Barrow Competition' will be considered for publication in a calendar and an exhibition to be held at the Dock Museum from 1st February 2012 – 1st April 2012.
