A PHOTOGRAPHIC competition is being launched to help decorate Wyvern House.

The building has seen a major transformation to accommodate new partners in a new public services hub.

The hub has been refurbished by Cheshire West and Chester Council to accommodate new facilities on the ground floor.

It is now home to Job Centre Plus, the Work Zone and Citizens Advice, Forfutures, Weaver Vale Housing Trust Employment Horizons team , Active Cheshire and Home Start who work alongside council services making it easier for residents to get all the help they need in one place.

Cllr Louise Gittins, cabinet member for communities and wellbeing, said: “We would like to invite residents to take part in a photograph competition.

"The winning photographs will be those which best capture the photographers’ personal impression of the distinctive features of the town and show Winsford as a great place to live and work.

"They will be judged by a group of local people.”

The winner will receive a meal voucher for four people at Rangos Restaurant and will see their photograph take pride of place in Wyvern House.

People can send pictures of places, buildings or people as long as whatever they photograph captures why Winsford is a great place to live and work.

Six photos chosen by the judging panel will be hung on the walls in the public services hub on the ground floor.

Entries can be in full colour or black and white.

Residents of all ages can enter but anyone under 16 must have written consent from their parent/ guardian.

All submissions showing people in a recognisable way must have the participant’s written consent and, if under 16, written consent from their parent/guardian.

Send entries, attaching digital images in jpeg format up to a maximum size of 10mb, to: wyvernphotocomp@cheshirewestandchester.gov.uk. The closing date is October 15.

Postal entries of prints must include your name, address and a daytime and evening phone number on the back of each photograph plus details of where it was taken.
