TO MARK World Photo Day, an annual celebration which takes place on August 19, a photography competition has been lauched to showcase all things which make Newport a great place to live.

Developer Lovell is encouraging entrants to be as creative as possible with their submissions, which can include photography of your favourite walks, sunsets, activities, wildlife areas, hobbies, pets, architecture or artwork around Newport.

One winner from each age category will receive vouchers towards photography equipment worth £100, and will have their entries displayed on hoarding at Royal Victoria Court – a development of new homes coming soon to Cardiff Road, Newport.

An overall winner will also be selected by Lovell who will win £500.

Regional sales director at Lovell, Julie Bowen, said: "We’re very excited to have launched our hoarding photography competition, and we are looking forward to seeing examples showcasing why it is such an excellent place to live.
