Bents to kick off 2020 with photo competition

Bents Garden & Home will be welcoming in 2020 with the launch of its annual photography competition, looking for the very best images of nature that capture the beauty of our surroundings.

 

The centre is calling for photographs of gardens and flowers, landscapes and wildlife.  The winning entry, as voted for by Bents’ customers, will receive £50 worth of Bents vouchers and a framed copy of their image.

 

Says Matthew Bent, Managing Director:  “We always have an incredible response to this competition with some fantastic photographs submitted over the past few years.  The number of entries makes shortlisting a very tricky task but also a hugely enjoyable one as the images are always so varied.” 

 

Bents  says it would like to see a wide range of nature photography from sweeping panoramic landscapes to close up shots showing the intricate beauty of plants and flowers.

 

Closing date is Sunday 26th January and 20 short-listed entries will be displayed in store throughout February for customers to cast their votes. The winning entry will be announced in early March.
