Organisers are encouraging people from across the South Pennines Park – situated between the Peak District, Yorkshire Dales, East Lancashire, Greater Manchester and West Yorkshire – to send in their snaps of nature, the landscape, and themselves enjoying the outdoors with friends and family.

The images can be rural or urban and aim to reflect the rich, distinctive and diverse cultural, natural, and built heritage of the beautiful hills and valleys, in which we live and work.

At the start of each month, a winning image will be selected by the South Pennines Park judging panel – and the photo will take pride of place on their Facebook social media header for the whole month.
