BUDDING photographers are needed to take snaps for a tourist attraction’s 2014 calendar.
Entry is open to all visitors to the Little Easton venue at the next open day on Sunday (June 23).
This year there will be two age groups (up to and including 16 years and 17 years and over) across the three categories of Family Fun, Hidden Treasures and Flowers & Foliage.
Winning entries will be announced at the September 22 open day by the judges including Mike Perry of David Lipson Photography in Great Dunmow. Mike is also generously donating some of the prizes.
The photographs will then go on display in the new Archive Building, which the Trust has recently built and which will be open to visitors for the first time this month.

As well as the competition there will also be the ever-popular complimentary tours (at 1pm and 3pm), croquet on the lawn and craft and nature activities for younger visitors who now have their own log circle area in which to sit and read.
