Next year will mark 45 years since Deen City Farm first opened its doors back in 1978. To celebrate this milestone, we are launching a Photography Competition ahead of our big celebrations in 2023.
The competition is looking for 12 very special photos to feature in a commemorative 2023 calendar.
We would love to see a variety of photos from the last four and a half decades of the farm. The photos can feature animals, the farm in general and/or people, but please ensure you have permission to submit your photo from any identifiable individuals in your entry.
The 12 lucky winners will have their photos featured and credited in the calendar and also receive a free copy when the calendar is launched later this year.
When entering a photograph, please provide your name, contact details including an email address and tell us the story behind your photograph, including when & where it was taken.
To Enter: photographs can be sent via email to information@deencityfarm.co.uk, with email subject: ‘Calendar Competition 2023’ or via post – please mark for the attention of ‘Calendar Competition 2023’.
