SCENES of parish life are the topic of a county-wide photograph competition.

Organised by the Diocese of Hereford, people are asked to capture parish scenes during the summer months.

“We thought it would be a really nice idea to have a snapshot of our churches over the next three to four months,”

said Anni Holden, diocese spokeswoman.

Entry forms are available through NEWSpaper – the quarterly publication which goes to all 425 churches in the diocese – and entrants may submit up to three photos.

There is also a category for under-16s and it is hoped there will be a travelling exhibition of winning entries.

The competition, which closes on September 30, is open to everyone.
