There’s just a few days left to enter the Wonders of Wrexham Calendar Competition before it closes next week.

September’s winner for the competition was Angharad Beale, who took the image featured above of St Giles Tower in Autumn.

The photo shows the beautiful tower surrounded by Autumn colours as the leaves on the trees in the area began to die down.

Angharad has called her photo the “school run” and it’s clear she gets one of the best views in Wrexham town centre as she makes her way to work.

On hearing of her win Angharad said: “I’m delighted to have won the September competition. Wrexham has some very beautiful buildings, views and landscapes that should be recognised in this way. There’s only one month to go to get your photo in the Calendar so keep snapping and entering.”

Wrexham Council have been running since last November and with just one month left it is hoped that a record number of amateur photographers across the county will get involved to end the year

The competition launched following the news last year that North Wales is ranked fourth in the world of regions to visit. With Wrexham having such spectacular scenery, architecture, heritage and beautiful countryside, it was decided it should be celebrated!

Each month a different photograph has been chosen, with a cracking set of images in place including the Aqueduct, Acton Park, Bersham Waterfall, Bangor on Dee and St Giles Parish Church.

There’s no prize, however winning photographers will receive a copy of the calendar when it is produced later this year.

All profits from the sale of the calendar will be donated to the Mayor’s chosen charities.

The competition is open to amateur photographers and entries can be of anywhere in the county borough taken during October 2017.

Photos should be submitted via email to [email protected].

Further information and terms and conditions are available on the Council’s website.
