MENTAL health charity Mind Lancashire has launched a competition for the best photography from around the county.

Respondents are invited to celebrate Lancashire by taking photographs of some of the county’s most scenic landscape and sending them to the charity via its social media platforms.

Mind Lancashire also hopes to raise money this way by requesting that respondents donate £3 per entry to help the charity continue its vital work in trying circumstances.

Photography can also improve people’s mental health as they spend more time outdoors and take time to notice the natural beauty of their local areas.

Lancashire Mind will be awarding gold, sliver and bronze medals and will be creating an album of entries to be titled Love from Lancashire.

To enter, send photographs to Mind Lancashire on Facebook, on Twitter @LancsMind or Instagram @LancsMind.

The competition closes on May 15.
