With the Easter weekend upon us and spring in full bloom, there's never been a better moment to step outside, take in your surroundings, and capture what you love most about Poundbury.

Our "Love Poundbury: Through Your Lens" photography competition is well underway — and we want to remind everyone that this is truly a competition for everyone.

You don't need to be a professional photographer.

You don't need a fancy camera.

You don't even need experience.

All you need is your perspective.

Whether it's a favourite street, a quiet moment, a burst of spring colour, or simply something that catches your eye on a walk this weekend — your photo is worth sharing. Many of the most powerful images are often the simplest, taken in the moment, on a phone.

And entering couldn't be easier.

Our entry form is quick and straightforward to complete, taking just a couple of minutes. No complicated steps — just upload your photo and you're in. If you are having issues with uploading your entry, or the entry form itself, drop us a line with your telephone number at whatson@lovepoundbury.org. We have a team of volunteers who will call you to help, or come to your home and do it for you!

With the closing date fast approaching on 26th April, now is the perfect time to take that photo you've been thinking about. The Easter weekend offers a wonderful opportunity to get out and capture Poundbury at its seasonal best — who knows, your snapshot could be the winning image.

As a bonus, this weeks' Tech Tuesday is all about photography, and gives some brilliant hints and tips about taking photos with your phone!

So, if you've been hesitating, consider this your sign to take part. And REMEMBER, all entry fees go to the Lexi May Trust, so you are supporting a very worthy cause at the same time as having an opportunity to win a prize of £100 in vouchers. Some of the entries could also appear in a calendar that the Community Association are considering issueing later this year!

Step outside, or even inside - cafe, shop, garden centre, take a photo, and enter.

Don't be backward - come forward !! Click, click, one for the snap, one for the entry.

We can't wait to see Poundbury through your lens!
